Click here to enter Which genre did you used to completely avoid reading that you now enjoy? Or vice versa? I very recently got into a mystery kick. While I love mystery movies and TV, it wasn't something I thought much of reading. I was one of the few in my friends group growing up that didn't get into The Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew.  My reading moods usually pointed me in the fantasy or adventure direction.

He not only adapts, he perseveres and, over time, becomes a leader—and on occasion, the hand of vengeance against those who would destroy his adopted people. Yellow Hair documents the injustices done to the Sioux Nation from their first treaty with the United States in 1805 through Wounded Knee in 1890.

Awarded Best Historical Fiction of 2016 by Colleen's Book Reviews. Andrew Joyce is the recipient of the 2013 E
