She is the other half of his Red Stick spirit. He is the only warrior who stands between her and slaughter.
On a moonless night in 1813, Adela McGirth encounters a set of wolves and the steely eyed warrior who slays them, branding himself on her heart. When he returns, it’s with a brand of a different sort—the flaming arrow that destroys her life.
A warrior driven by passion and honor, Totka Lawe will do what he must to expel land-hungry whites from tribal land. Razing a fort to ash and rubble is no impediment—not compared to saving the copper-haired captive who has haunted his thoughts since that peculiar night beneath the blackberry moon.
When she takes his heart captive, he vows he would die ten deaths to protect her, and he would kill any who tried to steal her away. With bluecoat soldiers in pursuit him, a jealous cousin in pursuit of her, and the woman herself in pursuit of home, that vow stands a serious chance of being called into action
Can he win over her trust before the world tears them apart?
The Red Feather is part one of the addictive Beneath the Blackberry Moon trilogy of Christian women’s historical fiction. If you like sweeping sagas, strong women of faith, and romantic overtones, then you’ll adore April W Gardner’s moving journey of heart and spirit.

I was awed by the portraying of each character and the way they interacted with each other, so realistic, so exciting.
I read a lot of books...I have a lot of great authors/books on my Kindle, but this book, this series...I just can't get out of my head, or my heart. This author grabs your attention and pulls you so far into the story you don't want to get out, lol! It's really hard to put down to go to sleep (I have lost a lot of sleep...even after reading several times...is that weird?!)
If you're looking for an engaging book with realistic and fast moving, historically accurate plot, this is the one.
Also, the main characters are flawed, but so real and lovable! I really like both Totka and his Copper Woman (Adela)...and they have a rare and intense chemistry together. Really wonderful writing. Vivid scenes. Unforgettable.
I hope you enjoy this book - the entire series as much as I have!
But even putting aside my bias, this is a really good novel. Totka, though not yet a Christian, is an amazing hero who does whatever he can to care for his family and the woman he loves. Adela is nearly his equal as a heroine, as she is fierce in her protection of her family and firm in her faith in Christ even if it might cost her Totka.
There were moments when the text could have been clearer. Often, Adela would refer to "him" and it would be unclear whether she meant Totka or Nokose or even someone else for a few more sentences. Oddly though, this made the story seem more authentic to the time period so I did not mind it overly much.
I highly recommend it to those who love Historical fiction, especially who love stories with Native Americans.
Highly recommend this book. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.
The story about Totka and Copper Woman, and the development of their romance...sigh. I love how they met in an unconventional way, and then met again in the most horrific circumstances. How does one fall in love after that? It takes God.
Ladies, you will enjoy this book. I was a history major, so I appreciate the realism (i.e., war violence). The ransacking of the fort may be a bit too realistic for some (I would pre-read this book before letting kids under 13 read this).
The Christian story and tale of God's love being allowed to flow through us (even to our enemies) is POWERFUL. After getting two chapters into this book, I immediately bought the other two books. I did not regret this at all. Brava, Ms. Gardner!
I’m new to this genre but I really enjoyed this novel from the start.
Adela lives with her parents and sisters but one day she has an encounter with a warrior, Totka. During a raid, Adela and her sisters are captured as slaves.
Loved her conviction to wait on the Lord, her strength, perseverance, and love for others. Enjoyed reading of their attraction and interaction with various tribe members.
I personally don’t mind a saga or the fact that the story continues into book 2. I thought the story moved nicely.
This story is worth of your time, of your emotions, is thought-provoking and has everything I need in a good book: love, faith, danger, pain but mainly hope.
I won't be able to forget Totka and Adela. There was such a love between them. And the characters were very believable for me. Their love continues in the second book and I am restlessly expecting the grand finale.
