About River's Song
River's Song (Inn at Shining Waters, #1)

River's Song is Book One in the Inn at Shining Waters series.

My Take:  This is a wonderful start to a new series. I haven't read any books that are told from the viewpoint that this one is, that of a Native American woman.  I have recently been discovering the wonder of nature around my home and this book seemed to fit in with this new found joy of both this new series and of nature.  Highly recommended. 
I was provided a copy of this book to review by Glass Road PR.  Opinions are my own.
