Lakota Dreaming

Lakota Series, Book 1

By: Constance Gillam

Narrated by: Noah Michael Levine, Erin Deward

Fired from her job as editor-in-chief of a New York fashion magazine, Zora Hughes travels to a South Dakota Indian reservation. She hopes to find answers to lifelong dreams her psychiatrist calls genetic memories. Zora dreams of a female ancestor who fled life as a slave and was aided in her journey to freedom by a Sioux warrior who would become her husband.

On the reservation, Zora meets Captain John Iron Hawk who aids and sometimes hinders her in her quest to find answers to the murder of her forebearer.

Zora sees the parallel between her life and that of her long dead ancestor's. Try as she might, she can't resist the lure of loving John Iron Hawk, a contemporary Sioux warrior.

But someone will do anything, including murder, to stop Zora from digging up the past.

Heartfelt and riveting!

This was a riveting story with characters brought to vivid life by two outstanding narrators. I was sorry to see the second in the series is not yet available but when it is I will definitely be adding it to my library.

Oh the stories of spirits of old

New York fashion editor, Zora Hughes, has come to the Lakota Sioux reservation in SD to investigate her heritage. She has had these ‘dreams’ all of her life but they have intensified over the past 2 mos. The dreams appear to be that of a runaway African slave that was captured by and later married to the son of the tribal chief. The dreams describe the murder of Julia...150yrs ago. But Zora starts off her quest by annoying the Reservation police chief, John Ironhawk. Throw in the Reservation Shaman and his sniping granddaughter...who believes that Zora is her competition for Chief Irinhawk...and someone taking potshots at the Chief...and you have nonstop action.
Riveting story with great narration and perfect HEA.
I voluntarily accepted a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Bittersweet but Glorious

I am truly delighted to be able to listen to the second novel in the LAKOTA SERIES, I am about to begin the third book and I am looking forward to see what adventures await Julia's descendent. I am proud of my Native American-African American heritage and have long waited for heroine whose background reflects my own. ago

Lakota Dreaming

Can someone please make this a movie? I need to see this book come to life. Why am I just finding about this author? This is the kind of book that makes me a happy reader.

This is one of the best audiobooks I have listened to this year. I was involved in these characters' lives to the point that I wanted to cry at the sorrows that they had to endure and they had endured. Lakota Dreaming was a mystery and a romance. Zora, Sarah, Julia, and some of the other characters had my heart, and when I found out about the mystery involving Julia and Sarah, I wanted to know more. I needed to know what Julia's life was like and why someone wanted to keep her and Sarah a mystery. Zora made me want to shake some sense into her. I wanted to tell her, "WAKE UP! You are not being called to this place just for your ancestors, but your future lies in front of you!" I was pleased with how it ended, and now I'm going to read book 2 because I need to know what happens next in Zora's life.

Perfect in every way!

Really enjoyed listening to this story. Narrators we just perfect. It grips you, couldn’t stop listening to it. Give it a listen, you won’t be sorry! Love the characters, love them, hate them, they all play a part!
