Synopsis
A slight breeze moved the French lace curtains as Karen leaned against the verandah doorframe. She watched the men struggle with the awkward and heavy feather mattress she had re-upholstered. The ornate bed was large and high off the carpeted floor. She had fallen in love with it the moment she and Bonnie had seen it at the estate sale.
The antique maple bed and steps matched her furnishings in the room to perfection. This room for some particular reason was the only one in her home furnished with antiques, right down to her eagle photographs in ornately carved frames. Normally, Karen was comfortable with anything and everything modern. It wasn't until the past year that she'd started replacing her bedroom furniture with antiques.
After the men left, she spent the afternoon organizing and moving the rest of her bedroom. Nodding her head in agree-ment with herself, she looked about the room with a critical eye. It was almost as if the bed was the last piece of the puzzle.
Its headboard was strategically placed against the wall with the two windows from floor to ceiling on each side. The bed faced the verandah, the armoire to the right of the bed, the bureau and matching vanity to its left. Karen smiled. The room looked comfortable and inviting.

May 10, 2003: A fantastic tale weaved with historical people and events well blended with the present world. I feel I have actually had a personal relationship with the great Chiefs and warriors of old. I cried and laughed. I felt their pain and turmoil. As the book came to an end, I was wishing for more. A must read! I applaud first time writer Mrs.Ackerson for a truly realistic novel based on the lives of the Native Americans.I feel I was actually transported back in time, and was on the sidelines watching. I can't wait for more from this Author.

April 23, 2003: What an enjoyable book to read! The whole mixture of history, scifi, suspense and romance all rolled into one book. Once I picked it up and started reading, I just couldn't stop. This book was so descriptive that I felt I was right there in the room with them. I didn't want it to end, I was on the last page and I just want to continue reading. Hopefully there will be a sequel soon.
