My Review:

This is an epic series. Long have I love the Native American people, and they are exquisitely written in this book and in this series. Set in the 1800's this story is still as relevant today as it was  then. The One True God's story is shared and lived out through Small Doe. The author worked in so much scripture and showed how one life, one testimony has impact on many. It's emotional, in depth, and beautifully written. As as series it's a set I want to keep on my shelves and share them as an extremely recommended read! 

About the Author 

Sydney Tooman Betts and her protagonist-husband currently reside near the extensive cavern system that inspired the setting for several early chapters of this book.

While single, Ms. Betts (B.S. Bible/Missiology, M.Ed) was involved in a variety of cross-cultural adventures in North and Central America. After marrying, she and her husband lived in Europe and the Middle East where he served in various mission-support capacities. Her teaching experiences span preschool to guest lecturing at the graduate level and serving as the Sunday School Superintendent, Children’s Church Director, or Women’s Ministries facilitator in several evangelical denominations.
