THIS IS A STORY THAT WEAVES NATIVE AMERICAN FOLKLORE INTO A REMARKABLE LOVE STORY OF TWO PEOPLE BROUGHT TOGETHER IN AN UNLIKELY UNION. I ENJOYED THIS BOOK VERY MUCH.
Its a mystery, love story and one of courage in the face of evil. Very interesting characters. Love the Native American nature of the "darkman" character, who has demons of his own to fight. Will be reading more of Ms. Eagle's books.
Kathleen Eagle enters compelling new territory in this urban-set contemporary which focuses on three people--Angela Prescott, a woman starting completely over after escaping a bad relationship; Tommy T, a street-smart 10-year-old who needs someone to believe in; and Jesse Brown Wolf, a man tormented by grief and guilt who's leading a double life. Jesse is an especially fascinating figure: a simple repairman by day who becomes a superhero at night, taking guns away from street kids ... a phantom lover who whispers words of heart's ease into Angela's ear ... a man whose underground hideaway protects him from a world that's become too painful to face. Native American characters and folklore enrich this story of redemption, which takes readers through some dark terrain, but leaves them in a place of light. A bold, thought-provoking novel that asks some tough questions, from an award-winning writer
