I only read this because our book discussion group chose it. Many of us were amazed at the inconsistencies and errors in the book. The major error (that seemed to be a case of sloppiness on the author's part) was the age difference of the main characters. If Delia is 32 and her mother gives her age as 47 when she is sworn in at Andrew's trial, then Andrew was guilty of something worse than kidnapping. Marrying and/or getting a 15 year old pregnant would have landed him in Sheriff Joe's jail long before he had a chance to kidnap Delia. Also, it is Sedona that has red earth, not the Hopi reservation. There was so little focus in this novel. Too many issues: parental kidnapping, alcoholism, Hopi creation myths, violent jail conditions, sexual abuse, repressed memories. Pick one or two or three, not everything in the kitchen!
