i borrowed this book a few years back and read it a dozen times in one year. i delayed returning it as long as i could and have ever since been looking for it, to buy it. thankfully i found it last year! it's so wonderful, romantic and adventurous. the lovely indian girl who is the heroine tries to resist finding Jesus with all her might, but both the missionary and another indian are in love with her. they both try very hard to lead her to the truth and protect her from danger in the wilderness. so tender and loving they both are towards her! i also loved the indian names, so smart and descriptive. i think one of Oke's best books ever!
Drums of change.

I loved it didn't know if I would when I read the back but in the end I hated to see the end of the book arrive.
One of the best books you will ever read!

Janette Oke is my favorite author, and this is my favorite book. Running Fawn is a character that seems so real that by the end of the book, she felt like my best friend. I could feel everything she was going through. I wanted to cry when she was miserable at the school. No matter how many books I read, this will always be my favorite.
