Crack at Dusk Crook of Dawn: A Novel of Discovery

I read a few reviews and was tempted not to buy this book because of the negative feedback. I am glad I changed my mind because I am glad to have completed the ongoing story of Meggie and Hawk. It gave me quite a bit to think about with the story line of ritualist abuse. I did not find it offensive, I found it informative and it brought out love for a human being who overcame personal tragedy. I especially enjoyed how the contiuation of the Lakota ways were always there. It also brought in a lot of thought about other belief systems. The story is one of courage, hope, and faith. The love of a child and the ways of the spirts, helped Hawk to be strong and determined even when no one else believed in him. Meggie's unconditional understanding and her fears made the story believable. I recommend this book to anyone who has read the first two novels. You'd be missing out of a great story based on reality in fiction.

Excellent story. The author kept me interested and I learned a lot about what is a part of my heritage. I have read other books by this author and look forward to reading more by her.

I AM SOOOOOO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS AUTHOR! I loved her first 2 books; but this started out fine; and then BOOM!!! a HORRIBLE incident described cruely involving kidnapped children!!! It is STILL HAUNTING ME; I am sending a photo to the author of me burning the book so that no one else had to read this disgusting book!!!!!!!

Love this story line and the book was so well written, I am sorry that this is the last of the series. Love this author.

Great Book

As with Ms. Cogan's first two captivating books, I read Crack at Dusk Crook of Dawn in one sitting. Although brilliantly written, the subject matter of extreme child abuse by a satanic cult is spelled out in full stomach-turning, heart-pounding detail (something I was unprepared for, and quite a deviation from her other writings). The path taken to heal the child is equally realistic, and although inspiring, did not balance for me the too-gruesome focus of the story...

I truly enjoyed the first two books of this series and was looking forward to reading the third. I found the subject matter dark and disturbing and just could not finish it. What I did read was well written.....just not something I am interested in putting into my mind.

As the plot unfolds, because of the content of the storyline, the book becomes difficult to read as you realize that such evil does exist in this world, however you can't put the book down. Well written, unforgettable third book in the Winona series...Look forward to number four!

Es handelt sich um schamanische Erfahrungen. Dies ist für mich interessant.

I love Pricilla Cogan- she has a great 'teaching' us about life and spirits- yet without us really knowing it. BRILL

L'ho acquistato perché mi ha incuriosito anche la storia personale dell'autrice che ripercorre quella narrata nel libro. Devo dire che mi è piaciuto molto e mi ha molto intrigato la storia di Adam. Si legge volentieri e in fretta. L'unica cosa un po' noiosa sono le lunghe descrizioni delle cerimonie lakota nella capanna del sudore che a volte mi sono sembrate anche un po' inutili ai fini del racconto. Per il resto molto bello.

non e' il mio genere, comunque letto abbastanza veloce, soprattutto dalla meta' in poi. interessante conoscere i riti indiani. prezzo super!

non conoscevo la scrittrice nè la trilogia l'ho comprato fidandomi del mio istinto che a volte mi inganna ma a volte mi fa scoprire delle vere perle! Mi è piaciuto molto sia per l'argomento che per l'ambientazione, una relazione tra un'americana ed un indiano americano, con tutte le difficoltà e la ricchezza di un difficile incontro tra culture diverse. Mi è piaciuto anche l'accento sull'aspetto spirituale della vita e della religione.
