A Sky Without Stars
By Linda S. Clare
This novel is fantastic!!! As a quilter I enjoy reading stories that revolve around quilts and quilting. "A bed without a quilt is like a sky without stars," is a quote from Frankie Chasing Bear's wise grandmother. Frankie Chasing Bear is making a Lakota Star quilt for her son Harold during the 1950's. Frankie is faced with difficult times as she becomes apart of a government relocation program that is supposed to assist the Indians.
This novel the story and characters are well developed. It contains family, tradition, love, romance, and unfortunately hatred. The story keeps you wanting to read more. Although the book was fasted paced and easy to read, I was sadden by the way the Indians were treated by our government.
Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
