Michael A McLellan

Wow! I could not put this book down. McLellan has created some authentic characters in this gut-wrenching story into the dark world of drug addiction. Chris and Allie both come from very dysfunctional families, which pretty much bring them together. Their world is one heck of a ride, both romantic and horrific at times. The storyline flowed perfectly, very well written.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a glimpse into the world of drugs, but forewarning, it is not for the faint of heart. This is the first time I have read anything by this author and I can say it will not be my last.… (mere)

This is a beautifully told tale of historical fiction about a newly free man caught in the middle of a country beginning to admit, although not ready to make right, the wrongs of the past and perfectly willing to commit more wrongs in the name of prosperity.

McLellan's writing is first-rate. It perfectly brings to life the main character's struggle as he tries to make a new life for himself in a world conquered by the white man while preserving some of himself and native cultures in the process.… (mere)

First let me say, while this doesn't go into graphic detail, the bad and ugly also aren't completely glossed over, so please keep this in mind when you're deciding whether or not you want to read this book. I really enjoyed reading this. You almost feel like you're in Henry's shoes, experiencing things first hand, the highs and the lows. If you are a lover of historical fiction and are aware of the way blacks and natives were treated by the whites, then you'll enjoy this book. (If you don't know that second part you're in for a rude awakening). A must read!… (mere)
