Reviews
of COYOTE WINDS
5 Star
Review from ForeWord Reviews—“Sedwick … creates authentic moments that
showcase the American West in the 1930s… Sedwick reminds readers that people
are profoundly affected by their time and place, and many of her characters
embody that…Part of the novel’s strength is how fluidly it reads considering
its depth. This is no heavy-handed historical novel. Rather, readers will be
drawn into an engaging story that broaches serious questions about family, the
American spirit, and hope.”
5 Star Review from Compulsion
Reads –“Coyote
Winds is a vivid and beautiful portrait of two very different worlds…
Sedwick pens this story so well that I could see the Vincent farm, hear the
chickens pecking at kernels and feel the coyote winds blowing across my
face. This book pulled me into its grip
in the first chapter and didn’t let go…Coyote Winds is a must-read. Its simple beauty struck a deep chord within
me that is still humming with the sound of the coyote winds.
“The story transports readers to a bygone day when
dreams died hard and indomitable spirits struggled to endure. You’ll
taste the sand in the air and feel the heartache with these unforgettable
characters shaped by a gritty American landscape that will linger in the memory
long after the dust has settled.” --David Schweidel, author of Confidence
of the Heart and What Men Call Treasure
“There are days when I tire of being
a reviewer, but then along comes a book like Coyote Winds by Helen
Sedwick that makes me feel excited about my role. Coyote Winds is
a bittersweet story, full of sadness and hope… Carry it with you. Make it a
top priority to read.” Allison
Hunter, Allison’s Book Bag
“Coyote Winds is engaging and
provocative. The book tells the story of the Great Depression and Dust
Bowl in a way that encourages readers to think and to want to know more.
It helps us to understand both the harshness and the beauty of farm life on the
southern Plains.”--Pamela Riney-Kehrberg, History Professor and Chair, Iowa
State University, author of Rooted in Dust and Always Plenty to Do,
and contributor to Ken Burns’film, The Dust Bowl
