The story of Kuy Syan Joshua tracks two different ways of life: Kiowa and white. In 1851, young Lana Cooper, a white woman, makes the choice to live with her Kiowa husband, Two Hawks. In order to do so, she has to keep her family believing that she is dead. While the western frontier brews with dissension between the tribes and the bluecoats, back east, the country is divided by a civil war. After the war ends, Lana's first husband, Liam O'Connell, finds himself on the losing side and tries to piece his world back together again. These two lives dance around each other and weave their own story. Each fighting to keep their families alive and united in a time of strife.
KUY SYAN JOSHUA is a real and true to life story of the American frontier. The love that T'on Ma (Lana Cooper) feels toward both of her husbands shows the conflict people have when one love fills our lives, but the other love fills our hearts. Her struggles to mesh with her Kiowa family is blatant as well as her dependence and adoration of Two Hawks. Theirs is a once in a life time love that you are glad she hung on to, but wonder how differently her life would have been if she had stayed in the white world. KUY SYAN JOSHUA is T'on Ma's oldest son. A white man's child raised with an Indian heart. His plight in life is emotional, but true. Magnolia Belle has a way with words. You travel their story not as a reader, but a participant in their daily triumphs and struggles. You are able to sit safely away from the deadly conflict and see both sides of the fight. But, who you end up cheering for will surprise you in the end.
KUY SYAN JOSHUA is an emotional story. You will cringe, you will laugh, you will weep. And in the end, you will want to read more.
