I was worried when The Specusphere went down that people looking for reviews of books that weren't covered by the big guys would be short-changed, so I'm gradually re-publishing the ones I wrote, here and on Goodreads.Satima Flavellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427849961195148899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718195565973839216.post-53481271507842850072013-10-19T22:40:31.802+08:002013-10-19T22:40:31.802+08:00I think most Christian minorities or Christian Fir...I think most Christian minorities or Christian First World peoples -- Christian aborigine, Christian African, Christian Native American-- would understnd Wind Follower. That's what I wanted to show -- the conflicted dark-skinned believer who truly believes the religion brought by the white man. This is not really a niche book though, although to whites it might be.
