Respectful, Engaging, and Fun By Leslie Despite living in a small town that is unusually accepting of her Comanche heritage, Soonie sets off to an illegal Native settlement, where she hopes to make a difference by teaching the children there the skills necessary to survive in the white man’s world.Much like Zillia in the first Texas Women of Spirit series, Soonie is spunky, determined, kind-hearted, and loving. She does what she does because, deep down to her toes, she believes that is what she is meant to do. It’s easy to get caught up in her passion, and equally easy to share her fears or her sorrows.This adventure to her new home is but one part of her story. While there, she must learn how to live among the tribe, and, perhaps most difficult of all, to connect with older members of the tribe who, despite her being 1/4 Comanche, see her as little more than a white woman.I was worried this confrontation would be more painful than it was. She does struggle to gain acceptance and understand them in turn, but it never felt vicious, and for that I’m glad. Finding common ground is enough of a struggle. If the elders insisted on kicking her every time she was down, the story would have been too painful for me to handle.Personally, the emphasis on characters is my favorite part of the story. There are a handful of characters in here that shine; each one has that “it” factor that could make them a protagonist of their very own book. Even among the antagonists, things were varied. Some were hardened, beyond redemption. Others were nuanced and almost sympathetic in their misguided ways.There is action in the story, and at times it was exciting enough that I read so quickly I nearly skimmed because I had to see what the outcome would be. Despite these chunks of action, on average the tension didn’t seem very high, but I didn’t mind in the least. I still found the story engaging and easy to read because there was plenty else to keep me going. If you live for action, though, you’ll need to read with an open-mind to other types of story-telling.Castillo handles the topic of a Christian Comanche woman returning to help her people very well. Though Soonie strives to help, she in no way has a “savior complex” about her actions; she’s actually quite humble and respectful of tribal traditions, with the exception of hallucinogens, which I think is more than fair.Despite Soonie’s deep faith, she doesn’t roll into the settlement trying to covert anyone, either. She simply lets her love of the Lord shine, and is happy to talk about it to anyone who shows interest. She’s neither pushy nor condescending, yet she still helps strengthen countless people’s faith. It’s a perfect balance, and I adore that Castillo is always so respectful and loving in how she approaches religion.Even if you’ve never read River Girl’s Song, it’s still easy to read/understand Comanche Girl’s Prayer, though some comments about Soonie’s best friend, Zillia, might not be as meaningful to you. If you have read River Girl’s Song and liked it, you’re going to love those little hints about how Zillia’s doing and what she’s up to.

It is told from the viewpoint of a part-Comanche young woman, Susannah, whom we come to know as “Soonie,” and it portrays a fascinating landscape and culture. Although Soonie undergoes many difficult experiences, her story ends with an unexpected twist that is eminently satisfying.Soonie’s Christian faith is an integral part of the story and provides both depth and realism. I appreciated her firm conviction, woven throughout, that no matter the skin color, all human beings are created equal and are equally loved by God. On a personal note, I especially liked her prayer at a stressful moment: “Thank you, God. Every time I need an answer, you always help me . . . Even if it’s not always exactly what I want it to be.”

Unforgetable By Jezebel I read several books a week, and often they sort of melt all together and I can't even recall their storylines a week later. Not this book. This book will be remembered. Saying, I couldn't put it down is an understatement. At one point I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to find out if... but I'm not going to give any spoilers. Suffice it to say, there is suspense. And the writer knew just how to script it to keep me nervously awaiting the outcome. I loved how the author describes things using analogies. Ms. Castillo is a gifted author who brings you right into the story and let's you sit in the middle of the suspense until you almost break out in a sweat. I would highly recommend this book. I'm especially fond of Indian stories, and I did quite a bit of research on them years ago myself. I can tell she did her research well, she brought into the story many true facts about the Indians and their ways without making it sound like a history lesson as some books do. Whenever I do a review I like to point out the best points and the low points. I have to really think hard to find a low point in this book, but if I absolutely have to, I'd say it was that I didn't get enough of the Soonie and Lone Warrior, but maybe there is a sequel or book three coming. I'm off to read The River Girl's Song. Giving this 5 stars because I absolutely loved it.
