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

Talks Like Thunder by Randal Nerhus
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Talks Like Thunder (Red With Native Blood Book 1) by Randal Nerhus & Marjorie Carter is a story Family, honor, and sorrow all contribute to a girl’s maturation within her culture.

This is the tale of Desert Flower, a small child who is experiencing the biggest nightmare in the annals of our people. Her life as an Apache starts in 1871, when she loses both of her parents to smallpox. She endures famine, boarding schools, reservations, and war as she matures. She grows up to be a strong, proud young woman who works to protect her family, her tribe, and her land despite the hardships she was born into.

Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into the native peoples world. I couldn’t put the book down.
