Earth Walk

Summary: Worth A Read
Review: A pleasureful read! Unlike "The Stand" (Stephen King), Ms. Hansen does not take 1,000 pages for character development, and that helps the reader to quickly identify with the main characters. I read the book in a week, and thoroughly enjoyed the storyline, the dialog and especially the message about how we each should approach our lives. I highly recommend this as a gift to the friend in your life who needs to slow down a little.

Summary: This is a must read for all women
Review: Earth Walk is a memorable tale, rich and satisfying like a full bodied wine. Eloquently contrasting the harshness of a Michigan winter with warmth of the Southwest, the author skillfully reveals the warmth and coolness of the characters' souls. Hansen's characters come alive and glow like the golden sunsets of the Southwest, where part of the book takes place.

She delves into the lives of the characters, their pasts, their silent struggles, and presents it with respect. Readers will find themselves comtemplating their own earth walk after reading this book.

Summary: Earth Walk
Review: This is a beautiful story of a woman's challenges as she faces the juxtoposition of her life in a contemporary world, and the world she wants to be more a part of: her Native American Indian heritage. Her challenge is which world does she truly belong to? She lives in her contemporary world as a professor at a Michigan University, and her "other" life, as the long time lover of a Navajo man living on the reservation in Arizona. The dichotomy in her life becomes devastatingly destructive when she is shunned from the world she wants desparately to be part of and she becomes lost. The story unveils the search for her and as the search progresses her own journal leads the way over the turbulence of her Earth Walk and the reader discovers it is this woman's soul we are searching for.
