Why read it?
2 authors picked Flight of the Sparrow as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I could see this story unfolding in front of my eyes as I read. I didnāt want to stop reading.
The story flowed, was ātrueā to history, about real events and people, and full of realistic human emotions and conflict. I found the prose vivid and gripping, and the portrayal of the early settlers and Native American community well balanced.
There was great tension in the plot and between the two main characters that ended in a plausible way.
This is based on an actual captive woman in the early Colonial years. Since the topic was the subject of my thesis (Captive Or Captivated) I was enthralled in the way that the author brought the true story to life as fiction. Great historical accuracy and detail as well as a story sure to be remembered for a very long time.
From Lee Ann's list on Native American romantic suspense.
