Publisher's summary

From award-winning historical lesbian romance author Edale Lane. Bound by love, separated by a tragic mistake; can two Indigenous women realize their happy ending?

Long ago, in an age of mysticism, Walks with Spirits, a two-spirit woman, perceives voices whispering on the wind, and they empower her with the gift of calling animals. But who she truly wishes to call to her side is her childhood friend Laughing Brook.

Daughter of a shaman and an herbalist midwife, Laughing Brook holds a prominent place in her society and bears the responsibilities it entails. She is training to be a healer like her mother, but her most compelling desire is to spend her life with Walks with Spirits. When a misunderstanding crushes their dreams of happiness, both women must learn to face the trials that await them in a land where danger lurks behind every tree and honor means more than life. Will the spirits intervene on their behalf, or are they fated never to manifest their visions of love?

Walks with Spirits is a historical fantasy set in an ancient time. Packed with Native American themes, heart-touching imagery, and an epic love story, Walks with Spirits will immerse you in an inspiring view of life.

Are you into history, spirituality, or a romance with a happy ending? Walks with Spirits demonstrates how one woman learns to communicate with the spirit world in a way that is just as viable today as centuries ago. It gives the listener a peek into another culture and above all proves that true love conquers all.

Interesting listen

I’ve been looking to read/listen to more variety of stories and voices, and gave this one a try thanks to a free credit. I prefer not to read synopsis and read based on recommendations, so I was interested in where the story was going to go. It was slow at first, the genre different from what I am used to reading, but no matter how many times I paused for other books, I kept thinking about it and wanting to come back. It picked up in the second half and I was happy to feel strongly attached to the characters as the book wound down. Overall I recommend it.

Amazing Narrator with Accurate Representation

An audio book is only as good as its narrator, and this one does NOT disappoint! Cindy did a wonderful job narrating this entertaining and thoughtful story. Her character representation was animated and entertaining and kept me interested in the characters and story. Being from Native Alaskan villages of Yupi'ik heritage and Tlingit heritage, it was very nostalgic hearing her speak as the characters. It made me remember being in the villages my indigenous parents come from. She must have Native Heritage as well. It just worked.

Enjoyed this story

I really enjoyed this story. I thought the author did a great job incorporating indigenous culture into this story. A beautiful love story. The narration was good. However, it felt like the recording was done in a place that made it sound hollow

I really enjoyed this book. Thank u for sharing. It was a great read. My only issue was with the person. that was reading it. She read kind of drone like. The book itself was very good.
