Tough as nails Emara fights for independence and her life. An unexpected adventure with an unexpected love interest, Emara's Challenge not only captivates but also is a lesson on friendship and kindness during difficult times. The author depicts how mental challenges can be just as difficult to overcome as the physical in this tale of conflict when a young native American is forced to fight for the ones she loves. Excellent read from this new Author.

You will long to read a second book by this author. Monica Flores is a very articulate author that brings you along with her characters on their travel through a different time and place. She makes you long to know where they are going next. Even when you are not reading the book the characters are present in your mind.
There are times the book will bring you to the point of tears and then again to laughter.
Take time from this world to enjoy this book.

A Wholesome and exciting coming of age book. An exciting adventure awaits you as you travel through ancient lands with Emara and her family. Truly a coming of age story with turns and twists along the way that leave you wondering what Emara will choose. As an educator, I found this book uplifting and informative. This journey teaches of customs and lifestyles of Lamanite youth that draws parallels for young people today. I’m excited to read her next book!
