Critics “Stories are so moving and exciting that you are barely aware of how heavy and profound its meaning is until you reach the end in a moment of stunned sadness.” Ron Charles for the Washington Post Book World Her books had the natives killed, threatened, and maimed in hundreds which made uncomfortable reading. Development of racism and one side was infringing on the other and it made it difficult to live with one another.
