A decent enough tale of survival based on true events as 3 people are stranded when attacked by a crocodile. It's ok but a lil too long and the interest starts to go after a while. Only so much tension you can build about people stuck in a tree avoiding a crocodile!

A great heart warming film as the women set up their own baseball league. Two sisters who join from the beginning end up becoming rivals on and off the pitch. A well made film with the 3 main leads making the film what it is. Think it is loosely based on true events as well.

<i>I received an ARC from the publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review</i>

This was a fast paced and very thought-provoking read. It was believable, dark, intense and mirrors numerous true life events. I highly recommend this book to those that are interested in family dramas that are gripping and well constructed.

    Inspired by true events; a woman escaping a cult, a refugee fleeing with his family, a father...

An amazing insight into the long history of the 'first Americans'. A great balance between detailed recounts of events, yet a broad enough stroke through the history to explain the major parts of the history for the last 20,000 years.

A wonderful book, concise yet still detailed, full of emotion and accuracy in the telling of the the tragic events, but not being too romantic over the good times either.

A must read for anyone interested in developing their knowledge of this remarkable group of people, true survivors and determined to control their own destiny.
