"The sentences had short apt descriptions which made the book feel like a Hemingway story." Eliza Stopps. RACISM...pits one Christian community against another, rips a family apart, and drives two young lovers to find their own happiness. The story starts with a boy, Marcus, wanting to be his own person and meets a girl, Quanah (Qua-nah) who is about the same age. Marcus, a second-generation German immigrant, and Quanah, a Comanche, their friendship bloom into love. This tail demonstrates how the practice of Christianity is different from one community to another. One community embraces all people while the other defines unwritten rules of oppression. This narrative is based on the author's actual experiences, his study of German immigration, land granted by the "Republic of Texas" and an unbroken 1847 Comanche peace treaty, orchestrated by the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants, This treaty is based on the philosophy that we should educate our children together that they know each other, marry and we raise our grandchildren together.
