(41,484 posts)1. Is this your blog?
I am currently reading a book that you might enjoy. It is titled "News of The World" by Paulette Jiles.
It takes place in 1870 in the west and is the story of a man entrusted with returning a young girl to her family after she spend several years with the Kiowa after having been kidnapped during a raid. It is beautifully crafted and I am enjoying it immensely.

The Color of Lightning. It is a fine story. BTW, I love all of her books, esp. Lighthouse Island."
