Customer Reviews

Not a really biography, but a good novel

This book does not really capture the historic Tekakwitha, the frail, scarred Mohawk girl who embrace Christianity with unfailing joy and zeal. The Kateri Tekakwitha of this novel is a sensitive teenager, searching for meaning, for truth during a chaotic time when her Mohawk culture was encountering that of the French and Dutch. While this is not the luminous, spiritual Kateri who now awaits sainthood, it is nevertheless a very readable story, filled with great detail into the time and enviroment in which Kateri lived and died.
