Not your average Indians coming to America novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I would give this book six stars if I could, it has all of the stuff you want in a work of pre-history. In fact, I am suprised that there aren't any other reviews of it.There is a heroine who after a horrific tragedy developes an iron will and a vision given to her by the White Panther of a new and wonderfull land that she will not let go for anyone or anything. It is this struggle that moves the story along at a fast clip, will anyone believe in her vision, will she find her parents in the new land, will anyone come with her, was it all just a childish dream...?This book could really get six stars, it is that good. A must for any collection.
A very good first outing, a real page turner!

This book has all of the things that make for a great work of historical fiction. Vivid descriptions of the landscape, complex characters, a strong heroine who is not Alya-perfect, and a driving theme that moves the story along at a fast clip. As far as the "Native Americans on their way to the new land of America" books go, this has to be one of the best, right up there with the Gears.This book has twists, a spirit vision, a fight for survival and the dream of a new life that the heroine will not let go. I would give it six stars, this book is a must for any collection, a very gratifying read.
Wonderful

I have read many prehistoric fiction books and found CharlottePrentiss to have written a wonderful series. This is the firstof three and the best in my opinion. I loved the main character.She was a courageous woman of the ice age times.
