Operation Navajo: A Tracker Novel by Anita Dickason
Dickason is back with another realistic and incredibly researched adventure. Her well written and detailed stories are so expertly presented that I have trouble stopping at any point.

I learned a lot about the Federal … Continue reading Operation Navajo: A Tracker Novel by Anita Dickason

This collection of five books has been a joy and an adventure to read. The main characters pulled me into the first book and kept me coming back for more.

Carry: A Memoir of Survival on Stolen Land by Toni Jensen
This is a mostly dark and gritty account. It’s hard to say whether or not I liked it as it was more of an experience that had ups and downs.
