    • Sisters of a Different Dawn is the tale of two women ~ New Englander Sara Gray and the Shoshone, Umentucken, of southeastern Idaho ~ two women who are as different as the Shoshone Indian is from the Methodist-Episcopalian in the 1840s.

    But Sara Gray and Umentucken have a common bond in Sara's brother Myram, who left his Boston home to adventure west as a trapper for the Hudson's Bay Company. Sara's own travels across the country in search of her brother are filled with danger and excitement. Meanwhile, Sara is unaware that Myram has married a beautiful, spirited Native American who is totally unrepentant about her non-Christian upbringing.

    Sisters of a Different Dawn is the tale of two women ~ both striving to retain their individuality during a time when change threatens all that they had once believed to be truth.

    Reviews:
    REVIEW: "I got absolutely lost in this book and enjoyed it immensely, but literally clicked "next page" on the kindle, not realizing the book had ended. I wish there was more - or a sequel. I'd definitely buy another book from this author. Her style of writing, and her ability to accurately portray two such different characters was top notch. I felt as if I was right there with them. This was a 5 star story."

    "This is a wonderfully written story. I laughed and I cried and I found myself intertwined with each charter in the book. Feeling as if I was part of the story from the first page on. I am not a big reader, and I find that if I am not gripped by a book it is impossible to finish. I finished this is record time, reading for hours and walking the trail. one or two racy places, would be a wonderful read for teens if those not there. But they were truthful things and not embellished upon. I found tho this is supposed to be a fictional account of History, that it felt very real and Imagine it was much like this. Gives a great respect for family's and what it took to survive. I often say I should have been born 200 years ago, after reading this, I sure am glad I was not. A fantastic read.. HIGHLY recommend. I am on the list for Autographed copies."

    "This is a great tale of adventure of life in the mid-1800's. Live life as a practical Sara Gray or life of survival through Umentucken's Shoshone eyes. The tale begins in Boston, the city & people come alive as the story enfolds. Sara gives the reader a true insight of life in this time. As she begins her journey in search of her brother, the reader rides along seeing the places that still exist today-Ash Hollow with the wagon wheel ruts so deep they can still be seen. The travel & adventure are recorded in a journal style as Sara begins her journey West. Umentucken's tale gives readers an opportunity to experience the what, how, why, & where of a Shoshone life & customs. This is a great read filled with an adventure in history into the lives of two very different cultures and two head-strong women who struggle to survive the changes in their world. Its a great story that will leave you wanting a sequel!"
