Ride the Wind

By: Lucia St. Clair Robson

Narrated by: Laurie Klein

In 1836, when she was nine years old, Cynthia Ann Parker was kidnapped by Comanche Indians. This is the story of how she grew up with them, mastered their ways, married one of their leaders, and became, in every way, a Comanche woman. It is also the story of a proud and innocent people whose lives pulsed with the very heartbeat of the land. It is the story of a way of life that is gone forever.

A Great Journey of Love and Life...

This is one of the most emotional books I have come across in a long time. The story pulled me and my heart in. I dont think I have ever cried with both joy and sorrow in any book. This book did help you see what a world of difference there was between the White culture and the Indian culture. It is one book that I will come back to time and time again like a few others I listen to each year. If you liked this book you will also injoy Sara Donati Into the Wilderness Series.

Astounding novel.

Ride The Wind is the most remarkable source of historical fiction I have ever read. I have read it 5 times since I was a girl and love that it is in my Audible library. Would have prefered the lovemaking scenes were not censored, however.

Wow!

What a fantastic read!! This was such a phenomenal read. I was in tears in my bathroom so as not to freak out my kids. Just a wonderful read about those times...hands down loved this book...wonderful!

Held spellbound!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Couldn't read it fast enough. Each chapter left me wanting more. I felt like I was living alongside each character and felt their pain, joy, and sorrow. I whole heartedly recommend this book, it is a must read. Would love to see it played out on the "big" screen.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ride the Wind?

When Wanderer and Cynthia finally displayed their love for each other.

What does Laurie Klein bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Laurie is fantastic. Her voice brought the characters to life. She is so good you can actually tell the characters apart when they are having a conversation. One of the best readers I have heard.

If you could take any character from Ride the Wind out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Wanderer. I would love to hear more about the indian way of life. They did not have it easy. He not only was a warrior but a compasonate caring person when he needed to be.

Any additional comments?

Just get the book. You will not be disappointed.

The best audio book I have had.

I read this book a couple years ago. This audio book is great .Narrator wonderful.
