Reviews

Redemption, by Deborah J. Ledford, gets under your skin. Fresh and ferocious Native American deputy Eva Lightning Dance Duran never lets up in her quest woven through the Taos Pueblo land. Atmospheric and awash with color, customs, and ancient ways. I loved this. Cara Black, New York Times bestselling author

Deborah J. Ledford has artfully woven the voices of multiple characters connected to the Taos Pueblo to create a pattern of stories that illuminate the challenges as well as the enduring power of Native American women. The rhythm of daily life is evident in Ledfords lovely, intimate prose. I eagerly await the new adventures of Eva Duran, who will, no doubt, unearth more mysteries in the buried layers of New Mexico. Naomi Hirahara, the Mary Higgins Clark Awardwinning author of Clark and Division

Redemption is a page-turner! I loved reading about sheriffs deputy Eva Duran and her battle against dark forces on the reservation. Sharp characters, a great setting, and a plot that keeps you guessing. A riveting thriller that hits hard and keeps you hooked. David Heska Wanbli Weiden, Anthony and Thriller Awardwinning author of Winter Counts
