Customer Reviews

Excellent based-on-a-true-story novel

I bought this book at the Cave Creek Museum near where the later events in the story take place. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the writing. The tie-ins with actual historical events in addition to the family's story works very well. Highly recommended.

The Burning

Robert Mason tells you the story of Annie White as if she is reading you her diary. He draws you in because he has done a good job at reserching the Arizona territory before it became a state. But the reason for the burning of the 2 houses are only speculated on.Her 20year fight for compensation leaves the reader sympathetic and profoundly moved.
