4 stars. About a year ago, I tried reading this on my Kindle, but it just didn't hold my attention and I DNF'd it for the time being. I just picked this up on audio through Overdrive and I enjoyed this very much. I found the narrator, Laura Hicks very good. She gave each character their own unique voice, making the story enjoyable. It is told in diary format and is an alternate history historical fiction novel. An Indian Chief had requested a trade of horses and 1,000 white women to be brides for the Indians, which of course, the U.S. Government refused. But this is the story of what may have happened if the trade had happened. There is a sequel, which I'd like to read eventually, especially if I can find a copy of the audio version, so far my library's Overdrive only has the e-book versions, but since I enjoyed the narrator so much and she narrates the sequel, I'd like to listen to it on audio if I can.
