I forgot to mention that Jane Kirkpatrick is a consultant to Native American communities. Her works are full of detailed and accurate descriptions of Native American life in Oregon. The story "A Sweetness to Water My Soul" is taken from stories told by the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon of the Sherar family who were the first settlers in the Multanomah area of Oregon. The Sherars were friends of the Indians there and they remember them with respect and kindness. I hope you will enjoy her books. Diana
