thoughtprovoking yet sad

This book wieghed heavy on my heart. In short, a 9 year old white girl, was taken away by Indians, who also killed her family. As years go on, she adapts and "turns injun" . She falls in love with a warrior and bears 3 kids { 2 boys and a girl, the adorable prarie flower}. After 25 years rangers catch her and take her back to whats left of her original family. She doest like it. She cant adapt back to the white ways of life. She doesnt trust whites and they dont trust her, except young Lucy who tries to help her adapt.
I guess I kept hoping she would come to love her original family again , but it never happened. Her life was completly miserable. This book was sad and kept getting sadder until the bitter end. The book was good but those looking for a happy ending may not like it.

a different outlook

I have read this book, and it allows the reader to see a side not shown in other books. It shows more of the Parker Family side, which is also good to see and read what happened. I also would recommend reading to anyone, the Native American side too, which shows what they as a people went through. Ride the Wind, by Lucia St. Clair Robson, another wonderful author, shows the historical side of Native Americans. This book is tremendous, and although this book Where the brokien heart beats is great, Ride the Wind is far better.

Good Book

I had to read this for a summer assignment, and I didn't think I'd like it. I actually ended up enjoying it, and definitely reccomend it for girls. For guys, I'm a little hesitant, but I guess it might be OK. But really, this book was excellent. 110% reccomended.
