As I have come to expect, Ms. Aitken's characters are extremely well written and truthfully portrayed. Jesse and Kathleen could be the people you pass by on the street tomorrow morning, and I adore that about Ms. Aitken's writing. Because of my own family history regarding the indian schools, this particular book was both painful to read and liberating in that it is a story which deals with a very touchy part of American history in an open and honest way. You can see both sides and understand the difficulty with which the characters must deal with and overcome on their course to finding each other. Thank you Ms. Aitken, for replying to my email. I cannot wait for the next book. So glad to hear that it's off for review! And, once again, kudos on the website! www.judieaitken.com

Ce commentaire est de: Distant Echoes (Paperback)
Truth causes contraversy, especially when it's been buried for decades. Jesse Spotted Horse promised to bring the truth about the Indian Schools to light, but Kathleen Prescott wants to be able to believe that there's no truth to be found. Jesse makes Kathleen face two things; her ancestors may not be as spotless as she believed, and she is attracted to someone she should not be. When the past reaches out and draws them into itself, there are no more choices. Truth is all their is, and they have to rely on each other to survive. Lost in the past, Jesse and Kathleen find out that things were neither as good or bad as either believed. They also realize they can't lie about what they feel for each other. Together they will learn much about their ancestors and themselves as they take the journey to the future. *** Distant Echoes is a sweet romance that has lessons about prejuidice and the worth of nonconformity. Here is a book that will earn a special place in many hearts. *** Reviewed by Amanda Killgore.
