Vine Delonia says: "Crosswait writes with such uncanny reflective perception about the lands & people she loves. The emotions we take for granted she savors & elevates to new understanding. Reading her poetry & stories makes one glad to have lived in the West." This book's eye catching cover shows Indians in full regalia in early the 1900's, as well as paleface Matilda Tarlton, mother of celebrity Bob Barker. REFLECTIONS is a saga of storytelling in prose & poetry in three parts: childhood, growing pains, & maturity, told from the point of view of a woman born & raised in Indian Country. It takes us from the Sioux Stampede (annual rodeo) & a Bobby Sox Quartet of the 40's to a singles ballroom scene in Lincoln, Nebraska, 40 years later.
