Great Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I liked this book more than "The Clan of the Cave Bear." My only complaint is that it ends too quickly. McKee should have taken more time to wrap up the story.
Wonderful read

What a great read this was. McKee takes me back in time and puts me right in the scene. I feel like I am really there watching what is going on. The characters are alive and the story keeps me turning the pages. I have read all her books and recommend them to anyone who wants a story they can get involved in!
Excellent book!

Lynn McKee again weaves an entertaining story line with rich intriguing historical information. Her characters are full and so real I can't help but weep with them and laugh with them. She truly brings them to life. One of McKee's talents is her extraordinary ability to transport the reader into another time and place. This puts her books on the top of my list! Nyna, a small child, is pushed out to sea in a canoe to save her life from the savage raiding Caribs. When she arrives on a beach in what is now Florida, frightened and near death, she is discovered by a young boy. Misunderstood and feared she is first totally rejected by others of the clan. The young boy pleads with his mother to save the little girl. Even though Nyna is finally brought into the village and eventually regains her strength, she is never accepted by most. Nyna is blamed for all the ills of the village, including the deadly fish kill, the red tide. Her enemies plot against her, but Nyna remains strong and courageous in the face devastating circumstances. She has few friends, but those who love her know her loyalty. And when she reaches adulthood, Nyna follows her dream. She is the Daughter of the Fifth Moon.
