Hobson, Brandon

Hobson uses Cherokee tradition and the Echotas’ story to amplify each other, blending past and present in a narrative of blistering loss and final healing. Highly recommended.

This is an important novel by a Native American author touching on his heritage; a must for adult audio collections.

Its teen protagonists offer interest for young adults": LJ 11/15/17 review of the Soho hc.]
