In the Arms of Stone Angels

Another tricky title- no angels except the ones in the cemetery. Brenna witnessed what she thought was her best friend committing murder. She calls the police and he is locked up. Her mother moves them out of town and she lives with the guilt and shame of her actions. See, White Bird has been locked in a mental ward and won't communicate with anyone. Two years later, they are forced to come back to town to clean out her grandmother's house and she is compelled to go and see White Bird. She has an instant connection to him and sees into his nightmares. Brenna decides she has to find a way to help him. She enlists the help of Joe Sunne, a tribal healer, who tells her she must walk his vision with him and help him find the way out. In the meantime, the real murderers are plotting their revenge on Brenna. She is beaten, kidnapped and almost killed herself as these bullies try and keep her from finding the real truth. To top things off, the sheriff has it out for her, as his nephew is the biggest bully of them all. This was an enjoyable novel with a great Native American feel. Brenna must go on her own vision quest to figure out her true feelings for White Bird and her true feelings about herself. So even there were no angels, this was a good read. Happy reading my friends, I'm off to the beach to read some more. :)
