Reviews
"Part family history, part myth, it is made especially revealing by the lively, fantastic stories of Red ShirtIs mother, Lone Woman. . . . These legends and histories, related in spare but eloquent language, are fascinating throughout."-The Washington Post
"Red Shirt does not lecture; rather, her vivid, simple prose turns the reader into a witness. 'I was there and I remember,' she writes, and readers will feel that way, too."-Publishers Weekly
"A colorful, emotional journey. . . . It is the intimacy and sacredness of the way these individualized stories have been preserved and retold that gives this story an uncommonly poignant spiritual glimpse into the historical perspective of these Lakota women."-Kaia Hemming, Voices from the Gap
