Summary: Tender Ties Historical Series
Comment: I have read almost all of Janes books, I enjoyed this first book in the newest series " A name of her own". I love to read how people arrived in Oregon and where they came from and Jane does such a great job on making sure her readers have all the facts.
I can't wait until June fo the next book .
I realy like when I e-mail Jane and she takes the time to personally e-mail me back.

Summary: Incredible book
Comment: Jane Kirkpatrick has done it again. Another excellent book. The research that she took on for this book to be written is just amazing. She has told Marie's story very well. She has added fiction into the history books and created a very readable account. The only downfall is the next in the series is yet to be released. This is a must read and I can't wait for the next one.

Summary: An absorbing story about an exceptional woman
Comment: One doesn't have to be avidly interested in the early pioneers of the Old West to become emotionally involved in this based-on-real-life story of Marie Dorion. Marie was a contemporary and perhaps even a friend of Sacagawea, the Indian woman who helped guide Lewis and Clark.
As the series begins, Marie, a young Ioway Indian woman, is married to Pierre, a hard-drinking and sometimes abusive mixed-blood man who is an interpreter for the Wilson Hunt Astoria expedition of 1811. Marie refuses to be left behind with her two small sons, Jean Baptiste and Paul. As the expedition makes its westward way through incredible hardships, we come to deeply appreciate and admire Marie's strength and courage along with her tenderness and vulnerability.
While intimately involving us in Marie's life, as well as that of her family and her fellow travelers, Jane Kirkpatrick paints a fair and balanced portrait of the conquering of the western part of our nation. It's a complicated mix of courage, greed, injustice and bravery--and Kirkpatrick's gifted pen brings it to vivid life.
As the story progresses, we see Marie being drawn inexorably closer to the Provident God that her former mother and mother-in-law told her about in her youth--the God who has given every fixed star a name, and loves each soul individually.
As I read A Name of Her Own, I found myself marveling both at the character and courage of the people who formed the backbone of our country in its early days, and at the talent of the author who has made it so real in these books. I can't wait to read the next book in this remarkable trilogy.
