Reviews"[Lisa Jones] has a knack for describing events, people, and scenery so well that the reader can almost taste the weak, sugary coffee and feel the oppressive heat of the ceremonial sweat lodge."?--Library Journal(starred review)., "I love this book... a harrowing and ecstatic journey of mind, body and soul—so beautifully told that the reader is not just transfixed but transformed."--Abigail Thomas, author ofA Three Dog Life, "It is the rare non-Native writer who can gain access to the hearts of Native people to share their stories; rarer still is the non-Native writer who tells those stories with both a clear eye and a compassionate heart. Lisa Jones has not only succeeded on both counts, she has offered us a story of a man, a people, and the bond between human and animal that will touch the heart of any reader...What a fine book."?--Kent Nerburn, author ofNeither Wolf nor DogandThe Wolf at Twilight, "A stunning accomplishment! Lisa Jones captures the wild beauty of the Wind River Reservation, the pathos and joy of the Arapahos who live there, and the remarkable life of a modern-day medicine man.' All of this while on a healing journey into the broken places of her own heart."? Margaret Coel, author ofBlood Memory, "BROKEN is about life loving us all equally and connecting us to spiritual responsibility. If you don't read BROKEN, you are missing out!"Tiokasin Ghosthorse ? Host of First Voices Indigenous Radio, WBAI NY., "A beautifully written, heart wrenching journey into the depths of the soul.' A tale of mystery, courage, and love between men, women and horses."?-- Jim Fergus, author ofOne Thousand White WomenandThe Wild Girl, "Intrepid only begins to describe Lisa Jones, who goes to admirable and adventuresome lengths to take the measure of a singular American spirit."?—Ted Conover, author ofThe Routes of ManandNewjack, "Arapaho elder Stanford Addison'is the most'wonderful of heroes - and Jones is exactly the guide to bring him to us."?--Alexandra Fuller, author ofThe Legend of Colton H. BryantandDon't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight?, "A great endeavor; a beautiful and powerful tale. I would treat myself toBROKEN, relishing the language, and like a woman with the best dark chocolate red chile fudge, I would savor its pages."-- Winona LaDuke, Anishinaabe activist and author ofAll our Relations: Native Struggles for Land and LifeandRecovering the Sacred: the Power of Naming and Claiming, "Jones locates herself beautifully in a story that is hers and not hers. This is her first book. We look forward to the next." ?Los Angeles Times
