It was delightful to snuggle back into my genre of historical fiction and listen to one of my favorite narrators, Grover Gardner, read an absolutely wonderful story. The novel is not long, lasting just short of six hours listening time. The author, Paulette Jiles, has written a great book. Set in the post civil war era in Texas, the reader journeys along with an older gentleman and a young girl who has been a captive of a Native American tribe for four years. The man is returning her to her aunt and uncle as her parents and younger sibling were killed when she was captured. She has been happy with the Native American family she has been living with and does not want to go live with people she does not remember. The things the girl and the older man experience together along the way cause them to forge a friendship and soon she is calling him grandfather. This is a book that is appropriate for all ages and would make a really good movie. Anyone who enjoys historical fiction will enjoy this book.
