Book Reviews of Ride the Wind
Book Review: Magnificent...Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
This is without a doubt the best book I have ever read. The story of Cynthia Ann Parker is fascinating and Lucia is brilliant in her storytelling. The detail and research in her writing cannot be matched. It puts you right there in the Comanche camp. I have read it probably 20 times (the first time being about 20 yrs ago) and each time I finish I cant wait to read it again. From the very first page I was completly hooked. And I did exactly what the back of the book says. It made me laugh and especially made me cry and mourn the loss of the great Comanche Nation. The chapter where Naduah is in the tent with Molly tears my heart out everytime I read it. And when Wanderer goes to the river the night before facing Placido and remembers Naduah from the first day when he captured her is so emotional I can hardly read through my tears. Several times after I finished the book I just had to contact Lucia and tell her how moved I am each time I read it. I have always had a interest in Indian culture and anyone who has the slightest interest in Native Americans or the west should read this book. You will not be dissapointed. I have bought so many copies of this book for friends hoping that they will have the same reaction I have had. I have 2 copies that have never been open tucked away in a safe place just in case. I cannot wait til my children are old enough to read this book. I've tried to find any and all the information I can about Naduah. This is THE BEST book I have ever read. Nothing else I have ever read even comes close. I think about it for weeks after each time I finish it. If you never read another book......READ THIS BOOK......
Summary of Ride the Wind
In 1836, when she was nine years old, Cynthia Ann Parker was kidnapped by Comanche Indians. This is the story of how she grew up with them, mastered their ways, married one of their leaders, and became, in every way, a Comanche woman. It is also the story of a proud and innocent people whose lives pulsed with the very heartbeat of the land. It is the story of a way of life that is gone forever....Action & Adventure Books
