Representaion In Favor Of Books Mystic Sweet Communion (Dream Catcher)

Set in turn-of-the-century Florida, this frontier saga traces the life of Ivy Cromartie Stranahan, the first English-speaking teacher in the region, as she struggles to teach school in the Seminole Nation and lead Indian families to Christ. Ivy is disliked by tribal leaders in spite of her obvious love for their children, yet she eventually overcomes their resistance and serves as their spokesman in negotiations with the U S government. Already scarred by her mother's tragic death in childbirth, Ivy overcomes her husband's suicide and other devastating disappointments to share her faith with her adopted people and eventually earn their love.

In 1900, Ivy Cromartie Stranahan gives up a promising teaching career to join her husband at the remote New River trading post in south Florida - but she doesn't give up her love for learning or her passion for righting wrongs. In this remarkable story of God's faithfulness and one woman's commitment, Ivy becomes a friend to the Seminole people, their teacher of forbidden English and the Christian faith, and finally, their spokesperson in a time of turmoil.

Like all of us who search for meaning, Ivy yearns to experience the power of faith, understand the limitation of human protection, and learn the importance of perseverance in caring for those we love. She finds them in Mystic Sweet Communion.

Write Up Out Of Books Mystic Sweet Communion (Dream Catcher)

Very well written. Not at ALL what I expected. Just finished and I am a twist of emotions inside. Don't spoil and read the end of the book - savor the story.

This is a novel based on the lives of Ivy and Frank Stranahan who lived in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in the turn of the century (1900). Ivy worked for education and basic rights for the Seminole Indians who lived in the region. This was pretty interesting - although not a favorite book by any means.

A young teacher, in the early years of Florida's development and after Seminoles have been squeezed out of most of their land, devotes her life to protecting/educating the Seminoles and wildlife of FL (i.e. the birds which were being killed for the beautiful plumes for ladies' hats).

As usual,this Jane Kirkpatrick historical novel is peopled with realistic characters and documented situations. Her heroine, Ivy Cromartie Stranahan, is as strident and unyielding as any she has portrayed in her other novels; sometimes irritatingly demanding in her insistence on doing things her own way, but in the end proving to be a powerful force for good in the early life of Florida. I love Kirkpatrick's books and the strong women she chooses to write about, and the Indian cultures she

4+ stars. THis was a fairly slow moving book, but somehow I fell for the characters. I loved the history of Ft. Lauderdale, FL and what life was like back in the early 1900's. There were an amazing amount of quotes etc that were helpful for me and were very interesting food for thought. I really appreciated the efforts and thoughts that people put into decisions so long ago that still affect us today.

It is an interesting way to learn the history of the Fort Lauderdale area but the story drags a little toward the end.

While somewhat promising and an interesting setting, this book went nowhere. Seeming to lead up to something, various starts seemed to just fade away. Too dull to finish.
