Light Bird's Song (People of the Book #2) by Sydney Tooman Betts -- Review

About the Book

Light Bird gave little thought to danger: she was the only daughter in a family of men renowned for courage. She spent her days in the pleasant company of her mother, grandmother, aunts and cousins, and evenings listening to stories about The Creator. Only one thing marred her happiness: a tall warrior who was determined to have her. Each summer he visited her village and each summer her father turned him away, but in the Spring of 1839 he brought an altogether different threat ... 

Seeking vengeance for the murders of his wife and son, her father’s fiercest enemy trailed the prints left carelessly by their attacker – and followed them straight to Light Bird! ​

Review

A continuation of the People of the Book series, Sydney Tooman Betts brings to life book two in her story, Light Bird’s Song.  Once again Betts has thoroughly researched her story and captivates readers with her beautiful story of the Indians and their traditions, as well as their belief in and strong relationship with God.  Once again this story was a bit slow in some places, but the story and the historical details are enough to keep readers forging on.  There is a strong Christian faith base in the pages of this story as well.  Readers will not want to miss the next installment of this historically detailed series.
