Love this author.. Love the history and authenticity of this story. Really shows the bravery and humanity of Texas settlers.

Wonderful Story. It is wonderful to see these historic people brought to life again in this book. Jiles brings both sides and viewpoints forward for us to see.

Splendid. Well worth a read.

Settling the West. At the end of the Civil War a band leaves Kentucky to go settle on the edge of Indian territory. One was a family of freed slaves, the other a white one. One day the men leave and the women and children are attacked, some murdered and some carried off to the Indians’ homes. But also after the women are brutalized and raped. So the story begins. Life goes on as to how they all survive and become a part of this new life.

The Color of Lightening. Ms. Jiles puts words together that gave a picture to me throughout her book. I could not stop reading until I finished. I believe she is an excellent storyteller and wordsmith.

The Color of Lightning by Paulette Jiles. Got as far as p. 28 and gave up...too gruesome for words. Loved Jiles’ News of The World & was expecting same quality.
