My overall opinion: A good book, and as good as I had hoped it would be. It’s about the conflict between the whites and the Indians in Maine – I had no idea they had this kind of tension there in the 1950s! This book provided a fascinating look at some complicated situations that seemed true to life. It’s a growing up story about a young girl of 16 and her Indian boyfriend. The book was full of good writing, and had an excellent story – I would read more, either in this series or by these authors. I especially loved the description of a food pantry in Mercy’s house – it reminded me of the luscious food descriptions in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s book, Farmer Boy. I’m a sucker for food descriptions. ;) But this was a heartwarming and sweet story!

Excited to enter!! :D And haha, yes, who doesn't love yummy food descriptions? XD
Sounds interesting! And the giveaway is just extra incentive :)
I love learning about American Indians, no matter the time period, so this would be way cool to read! Winning it would be a bonus, but if I don't, I'll try to find it via the library or internet.
BTW, I'm hosting a Tolkien giveaway right now, in case you're interested, Charity.
I love ALL historical fiction. This week my favorite time period is revolutionary war era.
