Thirty Eight Kindle Edition

by Tawa M. Witko (Author), Deanna Milda (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars (26)
Viviana lived a quiet life in the city, studying and doing everything possible to ensure she was accepted into a good college. She never thought much about who she was or where she came from but all of that will change when her father dies in the line of duty and she is asked to do something she never thought imaginable, participate in the annual Dakota 38 + 2 Ride. It was something that absolutely terrified her but with the encouragement of her uncle and the guidance of her new friends, Dre and Hope, she will discover something within her she never knew existed. She will learn that culture and tradition live within one’s heart and cannot be easily forgotten. Our spirit remembers our ancestors and beckons us to them, even if we are reluctant to go. Thirty Eight is a story of acceptance and love while finding one’s way back home.

***ALL ROYALTIES EARNED ON THIS TITLE ARE BEING DONATED TO THE ANNUAL DAKOTA 38+2 RIDE***

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Touching Journey for ALL Audiences
    Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2020
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    You might think that this is a young girls book (given the artwork on the cover). Nothing in it prevents that audience from reading it, but I read it (and cried through it) as a 55 year old. Aside from the interesting cultural window, I found it very relatable , moving and well written. Everyone can understand loss and change. I did note some minor editing errors, but they do not detract at all. The aithor might reconsider the front artwork as it both makes it look like the book is geared toward adolescents, and is also a bit odd with a smiling girl in front of handing corpses in the background. Regardless, the author should be proud of her efforts in writing a moving book, while her generosity in donating the proceeds to the real life ride demonstrates her commitment to her people and the benefits of the ride to them.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Truly one of the greatest books regarding historical events of Native American history
    Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This book, while fictional is based on the true events of an annual Memorial Ride. I help manage a Facebook group "Dakota 38 +2 Memorial Supporters" and have known of the the history of the largest mass hanging in American histroy for many years, but this book made me feel so connected to the actual ride, riders and those involved with the annual Memorial ride. While I can understand and appreciate the reasoning for this book to be fictional, it is much more historical non-fiction in reality. I have been advising many people to read this book, to learn of America and Native American history, anyone who rides horses, suggesting it a great book to read to younger children and more. I plan to reread this book come December when the ride occurs, knowing it will bring me closer to the actual ride itself. Thank you so very much Deanna Milda and Tawa Witko for writing this incredible book for all of us to be able to learn and appreciate all this Memorial Ride encompasses. Blessings to you both, you are in my thoughts and prayers and shall be during this years ride.

    4.0 out of 5 stars What a moving story!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I had always felt kinship to native Americans, and having recently found that they are part of my ancestors, now I know why. This is a very moving story, well written, and readable by the entire family. It teaches us that our past does matter, that it should guide what we do and not do today.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Arresting!

    I had never heard of the Dakota 38. It wasn’t taught in school. But then I met this woman who gave me an introduction to the title. Intrigued I ordered this book and must say I was completely captivated by the story. Well written, researched, and so enthralling I couldn’t stop reading. The one premise I grasped was Reconciliation. How apropos in today’s world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, spiritually charged and emotional breakthrough!!
    Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2016
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Thirty Eight is a wonderful, emotionally powerful story of a girl trying to find herself after the loss of someone close to her. The travels, both physical and emotional, will leave you needing a tissue one minute and praising the knowledge she gathers as she goes. I recommend this book for anyone, especially teenage girls. We have been through many trials and tribulations growing up and most of us could have used a spiritual 'awakening' during those rough times!!

    This is a lovely book about a young lady and her journey. From when her Dad died, it takes us through the trials and tribulations that Viviana goes through. Being a horse person, I loved the connection she had with Eagle Bear. The 38 ride was enlightening. I have been on many winter trail rides, none as long as the 38. Thank you ,Tara for sharing this story with us... From a New fan... Pam James.
