About this audiobook
Jeanne Williams
Born on the High Plains near the tracks of the Santa Fe Trail, Jeanne Williams’s first memories are of dust storms, tumbleweeds, and cowboy songs. Her debut novel, Tame the Wild Stallion, was published in 1957. Since then, Williams has published sixty-eight more books, most with the theme of losing one’s home and identity and beginning again with nothing but courage and hope, as in the Spur Award–winning The Valiant Women (1980). She was recently inducted into the Western Writers Hall of Fame, and has won four Western Writers of America Spur Awards and the Levi Strauss Saddleman Award. For over thirty years, Williams has lived in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nearly 400 years of Brazilian history is crammed into the nearly 400 pages of this book. The book begins with Marilia, an activist trying to protect a village from being razed by her ex-husband's company. She gets sick and goes to stay with her mother. While she is recovering, her mother tells her of their ancestresses, hoping to impart the strength of these women. Unfortunately, horrifically terrible things happened to all of them. For starters, all of them were raped at some point. All of them lost a beloved friend or family member in an appalling manner. The land of Brazil is soaked with the blood of native "indians", imported black slaves, Portuguese and Dutch. Many wanted (and still do, apparently) to exploit the richness of the land. A very few would just like to survive. Despite the mortifying nature of the events in this book, it was quite well written. It is a testament to the writer that the characters are so sympathetic and relatable that when the abhorrent things happen to them, the reader feels wrenched as well. You will learn a lot from this book and your heart will go out to the people of Brazil. One hopes that the situation will be improved, and might be moved to try to help.
