An interesting novel framed in a backpacking adventure. It seems suitable for those who like adventure stories mixed with legends, archeology and natural landscapes.

I have never used an audio book before, I may just have to get one as I do travel long distances and it would be ideal. In regards to this book, it sounds interesting. I like adventure novels and having the native American perspective included adds to my intrigue. Thank you for your review.

This was one of the first books I reviewed when I joined the Review Team. I enjoyed reading the story, and I have not forgotten it till date. Thanks a lot for the wonderful review.

An opportunity to learn about Native American legend sounds nice, however, I am not a big fan of audiobooks. Thanks for the terrific review.

Despite the abrupt ending, this seems like a good book. I listen to a lot of audiobooks. I never thought I would be a fan. But one thing I learned is that the narrator can make or break the enjoyment of it. Good job with the review.

Good review! Sounds interesting how Sarah disappeared to come back and has a story to tell him. I’m intrigued to see what Native American culture and history is in this book. I always love a good mystery and adventure.

Audio books are good but I need to switch my mindset as I drift away a lot. Loved this review. Kudos.

This adventure story takes place in the Pacific Northwest. I think I will enjoy it as I like Indian lore and hiking in the beautiful wilderness. Congratulations to the author for having your audiobook, Strong Heart, selected as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

I started reading Strong Heart after downloading the book and got 'lost' in reading it!

Needless to say the characters (Native American descendants), story (a surprise, stubborn, 13yr old grand daughter shows up before a planned hiking trip) , and setting (the mountains of Olympian Nation Park in Washington state), have all captured me!

Easy to follow, clear, and well written. I intend to read all of the series.

A very fascinating fiction book with vividly described scenes and a mixture of science and legend. Wow, this is nice! Thanks for the review.

I am always fascinated by native American legends and I am happy that the author has included them in the book. I am also very curious about what happened to Sarah when she was missing. The plot sounds very interesting.

A hiking adventure with a mystery sounds like a setting for an amazing read. However, I'm not one who would go for it.

A young girl shows up at the door and says she is the granddaughter, with no warning! What a surprise that would be! I like that there are vivid descriptions, especially of Olympic National Park. This book sounds intriguing. I can't help but wonder what happened to Sarah. Thanks for the wonderful review!
