About the Book
In 1951, Frankie Chasing
Bear is a Lakota caught between cultures. She wants to raise her son
Harold to revere his Lakota heritage, but she knows he will need to
become as a white man to succeed. After his father is killed in a
barroom brawl, Harold and Frankie move to Arizona, where she begins a
Lakota Star pattern quilt for Harold with tribal wisdom sung, sewn and
prayed into it. She distrusts Christians, as her own parents were forced
to convert at an Indian School, until she meets BIA agent Nick
Vandergriff, a half-Lakota who s also caught between cultures. Nick must
convince Frankie that white men and Christians aren t all bad as he
tries to win her heart in order to put the stars back into her sky. (Goodreads)
My Review
I was looking forward to this
book because the story line sounded unique. Sadly, I was really
disappointed with this book and the characters. It was very difficult to
get into this book and this is one of the longer Quilts of Love books I
have read. I like the story behind the quilt and the Lakota heritage
and how the cultures are shown in the storyline.
The love story is obvious but not captivating.
Overall I wish I could say more but this was a bummer read for me.
