An incredible tale of courage, beautifully told
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Strictly a non-western book about the West. Slave trade among the Indians, overcoming racism that was/is part of every group--I've never read these topics covered so vibrantly. Working to build a life, getting lucky, meeting catastrophe and facing challenges: these are not only what we consider to be the strength of the American character, they are the strengths of any human fully living his or her life. Then, as now, life was complex, bringing about complex choices. Those that are the most difficult often place another's welfare ahead of our own. That brings out the finest in us--finding strength in many situations, that's what Heaven is a Long Way Off is all about. A terrific read for anyone.
