Book Reviews of A Thousand Voices (Tending Roses Series #5)
Book Review: A Lovely Novel ...
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't realize that this is her last novel in the "Tending Roses" series. Ever since I picked up her first book, I have simply fallen in love with Wingate's writing and have bought every single one of her books in this series. I am sad to hear that this is the last in the series. I have a secret hope that she will pick up eventually down the road where she has left off ...
This novel is about Dell. Dell is a musical genius adopted at a young age. Once trapped in the life of proverty and neglect, Dell has grown up into a beautiful young woman. She has just returned to the States from a couple of years abroad. Dell has this great gnawing emptiness inside her where she just longs for the truth about her past. She sets off to find her father, a Choctaw Indian and instead, embarked on a beautiful journey where she discovers more than just her roots. She finds a family who took her in under their wings; she helps a little girl grieve for her mother and finds a new friend with that girl's father. She finds her traditions and sense of belonging in just one short weekend.
It is a beautiful novel, but not as well-written as her other novels. I am not sure how to explain it but it is a let down and feels incomplete. The ending just brought on more questions than that self-satisfied sigh of a story well-done and when you close the book, you think, oh, that was a great story. This time, it didn't do that for me.
Other than that, it is a lovely story and one to treasure. I will always be on the look out for Wingate's other books but I have a feeling that her best are with this series. Somehow, they just touch the heart more deeper than other authors have manage to do.

Summary of A Thousand Voices (Tending Roses Series #5)
Adopted at thirteen, Dell Jordan was loved, mentored, and encouraged to pursue her passion for music. Now, at twenty, after a year abroad with a traveling symphony, a scholarship to Julliard is within reach. But underneath Dell's smoothly polished surface lurk mysteries from the past. Why did her mother abandon her? Who was her father? Are there faces somewhere that look like hers-blood relatives she's never met?Determined to find answers, Dell sets off on a secret journey into Oklahoma's Kiamichi Mountains, drawn by the only remaining link to her origins- a father's Native American name on her birth certificate. In the voices of her Choctaw ancestors, she'll discover the keys to a future unlike anything she could have imagined.
