Book Review: The Crimson Path of Honor
The Crimson Path of Honor
by M. B. Tosi
There was a lot that I loved about this book, but also a few things that I didn't. The Crimson Path of Honor is a story about a young, kind of spoiled girl, Luci, who longs for adventure and independence away from her rich family in Boston. Her parents want her to marry for money and position but she decides to avoid marriage by running away to be a teacher in the West.
On the way, though, her plans are shattered when the stagecoach she was traveling on is attacked by Indians. She being the only passenger still alive, is captured by the Indians. She learns to adapt to a whole new way of life with the Lakota Indians and, very early on in the story, winds up falling in love with her captor.
The overall writing of this book is very simple and easy to read, but I couldn't put it down! I liked how this book showed the day-to-day life of the Lakota Indians without being boring and hard to get through. It showed the daily struggles and triumphs that the Indians faced. I found it very interesting! Even in her hard circumstances, Luci clings to her Savior and her witnessing to the Indians is a big part of the story.
One thing I didn't really like about this book was how strong the romance got at times, although it did play an important role in Luci going down the path to honor, which is the main theme of the story. Although it never actually happened in the story, so there are no details, lovemaking is mentioned and implied a couple of times. Also, a squaw giving birth is also in the story and slightly described. There are also some details of the Indian attacks that happened throughout the book, including blood and dead bodies, but it's not gory.
Personally, I really loved this book! The adventure was exciting, the romance was sweet, and the message was clear. {Find this book HERE!}
