Review: Great book SPOILERS

REVIEW CONTAIN WHAT SOME MAY CONSIDER SPOILERS, NOTHING HUGE THOUGH.There are common themes in all books by Rose Christo (that does NOT mean that she basically writes the same book all over again, quite the contrary), but she weaves the issues which are important to Native Americans almost in every book. And the situation with Native American kids being taken away from their tribes is apparently very important to her (and I understand why even though I am not Native American, but even to me what is happening is horrifying). Shawn, the main character had been through such horror when he was a kid and what he got as a constant reminder was a permanent blindness as a "gift" from his adoptive "mother". Yeah, no wonder it made him bitter and upset (other things happened that contributed to that as well, but that would be going into spoiler territory way too much. I do think that the story is first and foremost Shawn's journey in coming back to himself and getting rid of the bitterness. I think he is a wonderful character, really. I do think that romance is a secondary storyline here, but OMG how beautiful I found what we did get. There is no sex, so stay away if you need it in your romances.
