Editorial Reviews

“Not only has the author written a compelling story, she gives readers interesting information on Native American beliefs, values, and lifestyles.”

Reader Views - Carol Hoyer Ph. D.

"Redemption is a destination we all hope to reach. Coyote Heart takes us on a wonderful journey, crossing cultural boundaries, toward that great human place."

Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Last Great Battle of the Indian Wars and Pictures of Our Nobler Selves: A Hist - Mark Trahant

"A graceful story of love and redemption, Coyote Heart is a gift for all of us who grapple to understand the complexities of relationships.”

Author of Motorcycle Ride on the Sea of Tranquility and Ghosts of El Grullo - Patricia Santana

“With Coyote Heart, Paula Margulies uses lyrical, yet restrained prose to take us into a world where the usual definitions will not fit. This novel bravely explores the difference between a relationship that bends and one that breaks; it even suggests that a healed fracture is stronger than what was originally whole.”

Author of The Shelter Cycle, My Abandonment, and The Unsettling - Peter Rock
