The Search for Broken Sky

De: Riano D. McFarland

Narrado por: Diane Scanzaroli

The Search for Broken Sky is a story of unconditional love, uncompromising friendship, and unassailable loyalty between a young Native American woman, her faithful dog, and a horse of legendary intelligence, grace, and beauty. While some see them as outcasts in a community already widely viewed as outsiders, it is their own commitment to one another that they cling to and hold most dear. When one of them goes missing, all of their hearts are broken. Yet, despite their shared pain, their unwavering determination to be reunited allows them to overcome the impossible odds stacked against them.

The journey will take them across the majestic beauty and untamed wilderness of Wyoming, following a century-old smugglers' route along the Bighorn River. Although the picturesque landscapes are reminiscent of the untamed west of the mid-1800s, after sunset, there are dangers lurking in the shadows, where men are not necessarily recognized as being at the top of the food chain. As their expedition takes them north toward Montana, they are unaware of the predator stalking them from the cover of night, and the showdown they will face on the search for Broken Sky.

Wonderful!

Riano did a fine job of making this story from the heart. Native American people have a special place in my heart as my family had to hide out to keep from being taken out west to a reservation. Our people are close to the animals and land. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.

Love & Loyalty

This is a short stand alone story about a young native girl and her companions. Animals are amazing and you hear stories of what some have gone to for the people they love.

Powerful and Thought-provoking

I would like to say first to the author thank you for giving a voice to Indigenous People about mental health issues. I am a person of mixed heritage, a Hawaiian mother and Indigenous father, so this book speaks to me loud and clear. The Search for Broken Sky may be short, but it has a powerful message that the world needs to hear about unconditional love and acceptance. I really enjoyed the book it made me laugh, cry, mad, and stand up and cheer. This story is a MUST READ/LISTEN, to I promise you won't regret it. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own free will.

Very good

This book is amazing, you will definitely like the storyline. The narrator does a really good job. overall excellent book to listen to.

A Feel Good Book.

This book was highly enjoyable. I am an animal lover myself. I can understand the special bond that is created. To add to everything, I also have an Andalusian Mare. They are a spicy breed, strongly opinionated and absolutely my favorite. Thank You, Riano!

A Girl, a Dog, and a Horse

Heartwarming story about the unbreakable connection of love between a girl, her dog, and her horse. It's a short story but it packs a lot into the two and a half hours. I was so immersed into the story during a trip, that I was surprised I was at my destination already. Narration was great.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Dramatic and Touching Story

The author tells a very interesting story of a girl who loved a horse and a dog and the people who loved her. When the horse is stolen the dog goes to get him back. It’s a dramatic story that is heartfelt and the response of the Native American community and others is good to see.

Good Short Story

This story is written to bring awareness to the problem of autistic native American children and the lack of help. This story is about a young autistic girl who only comes out of her shell for the dog given to her and later her horse which later is stolen. Narrator does a good job with the entire storyline.

Great short story

This was a pleasantly good short story that I listened to while at a slow period during my shift at work. Diane did a great job with the narration and telling the story. The author did a good job with the characters.

Realistic

This contemporary story of a Native American girl and her beloved horse and dog touched my heart and gave me the chance to revel in an adventure right alongside the characters! I especially loved the happy ending! There were some swear words in the story, but they served to highlight the uncouth nature of the bad guys.
