A Thousand Voices (Tending Roses Series #5) Review
Adopted at thirteen into a loving and nurturing family, Dell Jordan cannot shake the need to know why her mother abandoned her and who her biological father could be.
Now at nineteen, with a year of touring Europe with an orchestra and doing volunteer work in the Ukraine, she comes back to Kansas with the need to find the answers that have always haunted her. She knows her father was a Native American, a member of the Choctaw tribe in Oklahoma, so she sets out to discover her heritage and, she hopes, learn why her mother gave her up for adoption.
Unable to get a motel room without a credit card, she goes to a campground to spend the night in her car. She meets Jace Reid, a single parent with two children at the campground where his whole family always camps during the Choctaw Labor Day Festival and in the course of interacting with him and his family, she learns about her Native American heritage. She also learns the hard truth of who fathered her and the problems that plagued her mother's life. A hard truth, but one can deal with truth better than with lies and deceptions, no matter how hard the truth may be. Eunice Boeve, author of Ride a Shadowed Trail
A Thousand Voices (Tending Roses Series #5) Overview
Adopted at thirteen, Dell Jordan was loved, mentored, and encouraged to pursue her passion for music. Now, at twenty, after a year abroad with a traveling symphony, a scholarship to Julliard is within reach. But underneath Dell's smoothly polished surface lurk mysteries from the past. Why did her mother abandon her? Who was her father? Are there faces somewhere that look like hers-blood relatives she's never met?
Determined to find answers, Dell sets off on a secret journey into Oklahoma's Kiamichi Mountains, drawn by the only remaining link to her origins- a father's Native American name on her birth certificate. In the voices of her Choctaw ancestors, she'll discover the keys to a future unlike anything she could have imagined.

good book - BobbieJ Stiles - Niceville, FL USA
I read all 5 of the series and enjoyed everyone of them. I was sad when there was not a #6. I highly recommend them. It makes you want to work harder at having good family relations.
The Final Chapter - Susan C. Ramsey - Wayne, New Jersey USA
The final chapter in the wonderful series Tending Roses drew the circle together of the characters that had truly come to life. I found myself really caring about each and every one.
Loved this series - Katherine M. Orlopp - Valley Springs, CA United States
This is the fifth (I think) in the "Tending Roses" series. Each book is better than the last. They are all sentimental but I still loved them all and recommend them to anyone wishing to read nice stories about nice people.
