I loved this book! It's a great read for all ages, with an excellent life lesson regarding love, loyalty and faithfulness. A girl baby is born in the pre-history days with two strikes against her: being female and having a deformity. She is saved from destruction and hidden from the tribe by her grandmother, who loves, protects and teaches her. With the companionship of both her grandmother and her brother, she overcomes formidable obstacles. Ann O'Neal Garcia has created believable characters in a story that is easy to move into. This tale begs for a sequel. Read it.
