Book Reviews of One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd

Book Review: This book will change you!
Summary: 5 Stars

Okay, now that that is straight. I state again, this book will change you. These women, May Dodd, Daisy Lovelace, the Kelly twins, Gretchen, Martha, Sara.....all will become like close family and you will be forever changed by their stories. You will laugh....cry....get angrey.....be scared....feel appalled WITH them, through them, and for them. It surprises me (pleasently) that this book is writen by a male. Since he handled and developed the female characters so very well. Most of the men in this story seem to be secondary characters, when usually male writers keep men in the forefront and push females to the back as an afterthought.

I will warn you though. This book is often times hard to read, not because of the writing style (that flows easily across the page.) But because of the content. Life as a Native American was never easy. But it was made increasingly hard by the whites movement westward, and the goverments almost unrelenting hatered of them and the land they once freely roamed was coveted by the whites, who saw it as THEIRS. There are moments where you will laugh, and smile and find full of joy. But alot of this book is sadness and pain. I know I turned the last page, crying my eyes out. I finished it a day ago, and I still have to remind myself it was fiction, that I can't do anything to change or help these womens lives. But, it is such a powerful work of fiction, that you WILL forget at times that these women never lived but on paper. Brava Mr. Fergus, brava!
