Billy and Kathy

A beautiful book. Billy and Kathy are still in my mind six months later. LA

On Indian Time

Judi Blaze touched my heart as a reader with her well written novel. Her evocative use of language gripped my interest and I was unable to put the book down until I'd finished it. Martin and Billy were opposites coming from the same place; yet Blaze had me rooting for both of them, hoping against all odds that things would work out for both of them. Even when I knew that was unlikely. Blaze creates a very real sense of place and time, so that the reader is there every minute with all of the characters. Perhaps that is the most wonderful thing about this novel -- it pulls you into the story, making you feel what the characters are feeling. I'm with Martin in his studio, with Billy on the Pine Ridge Reservation, with Molly and Kathy, the two women who love these men. Blaze is a writer to watch because her writing makes us feel. I'm looking forward to her next book.

Outstanding First Novel!!!

I loved this touching novel by Judi Blaze. The depiction of the two brothers has great depth and insight. As someone who grew up in the 50's in the Pacific NW, this novel certainly brings back the memories of the injustices inflicted on the Native American people in our region and the discrimination they had to endure, so much so that they were encouraged and or forced to be everything "white". This is endearing story of a Native American family, their hardships, struggles and triumphs in the face of discrimination. A great read....can't wait to read it again....after it finishes making the rounds of family, neighbors and friends! You need to read this novel....you will be glad you did.

Poignant story that tears at the heart!

On Indian Time by Judi Blaze is a heart breaking yet beautiful story. The writer pulls you into the turbulent lives of the brothers making you feel as if you are traveling along side them on the journey that is their lives. The story was like riding an emotional roller coaster: happy and uphill at times and sad and troubling at others. Blaze is an excellent writer who through her art can suck you in and make you feel like you are living the story. Once I started the book I couldn't put it down! 5 STARS*****

On Indian Time

This book has stuck with me ever since I read it. It is compelling, sad, touching in many ways. It is a true work of art and I would reccomend anyone who likes good literature read this book. The characters are real sincere, fighing for the lost identity between white and Indian. A great read
