Talks Like Thunder (Red With Native Blood Book 1) by Randal Nerhus & Marjorie Carter – Review by Melissa Saxton

Talks Like Thunder by Randal Nerhus
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow. I am not one for historical fiction usually but I decided to give this one a try.
Young Talks Like Thunder lost her father early in life. Though she was without a father her mother cared for her and she was happy in tribe life.
Then her mother dies and everything changes. Her grandfather comes to claim her to take her to his tribe and she is scared and doesn’t want to leave her friends, tribe and start anew. But it’s clear her grandfather does care for her as she is assigned the name “talks like thunder” as part of her assimilation into the tribe.
Unfortunately she’s captured again this time by the white man and put on a reservation and forced to learn their culture and disregard her own.
Many harrowing situations will greet her. Can she grow up to a powerful warrior and seek revenge on those who kidnapped her? Will she make it back to her home and family?
This is a must read. Great strong female lead.
