Customer Review: Wow, I read this book because my mom always called us kids "little heathens" and we are from rural Iowa, so had to check out this book. If nothing else but to completely clarify what a heathen is when used in an endearing context. First, I read it on my kindle, then bought a copy for my mom... more info

Customer Review: This book kept me engaged to see what "diffrent" thihg would happen next. While not great writing, it is vivid and depicts things most of us can hardly imagine.
Customer Review: I enjoyed this true life story so much I bought a copy for our grand children. It is inspirational, I would like to see it on the reading list for middle schools everywhere.
