I had high hopes for this story when I read the first couple of chaps.  It is two stories in one.  The first, in the 20th century and the second, in the 19th century.  A 16 year old boy is stranded due to a car breakdown and meets a very old Indian who commences to tell him the story of Sarah's Valley.  I was captivated with the characters and what happens to them for about 80 percent of the book until the end...which completed the second story but not the first.  I'm still wondering what happened to the stranded 16 year old boy.  The end was hurried as though the writer thought..."Oh no, I need to end this thing" and scribbled the last chapter or two.  It's difficult to cover a person's entire life happenings in one book and though the beginning held my interest, the last 20 percent of the book was a big disappointment.
