Charlie's Choice (Atwell Kin Book 6) Kindle Edition

by Zina Abbott (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 36 ratings
Prequel to the Atwell Kin series: Charlie, it would be easier to stop the flow of the great Missouri and Kansas Rivers than to prevent the Americans from coming to Kansas.

It is 1856, and the United States opened Kansas Territory to American settlement two years before. Land belonging to the once-powerful Kansa tribe, known to the whites as the Kaw, was sold by treaty to the Americans a generation earlier. His Kansa mother dead from smallpox while Charlie was young. He lives with his American father who owns a trading post in Bonner Springs near the junction of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers. A child of two nations, Charlie learns through harsh experience he is not always accepted, including by the father of the pretty redhead who has caught his eye. The arrival of thousands of white settlers make matters worse.Frustrated, Charlie visits his Kansa uncle to learn the tribal ways, travel the Kaw Trail to their buffalo hunting grounds, and become a warrior with a warrior’s name. Once he knows both worlds, he will decide which will best serve him in the future.

Meadowlark’s traditional father wishes her to marry Broken Wing, a highly-respected full blood Kansa warrior close to his own age. Meadowlark rejects being the junior wife under a dying oldest wife and a wolverine of a second wife. Once she learns her childhood friend who left the tribe years earlier has returned to the Kansa, she seeks him out. Even if he does consider her for a wife, can she persuade her father to allow him enough time to prove himself as a warrior? Will her father accept him for her husband in spite of his mixed ancestry?

Will Charlie decide on a future with the white Americans, or will he fight the coming of the Americans by clinging to the past with the Kansa? Will he try to straddle both worlds? What will Charlie choose?

Charlie's Choice is the prequel to the Atwell Kin series, which mostly involves romances of the white American Atwells as they settle on the Kansas frontier. Charlie plays a minor role in each Atwell Kin book. Some of these books are part of other multi-author series.

    The white men sold whiskey to the warrior's so they could take advantage of them. The white men told the Kanas,Cheyene,Arapaho and Pawnee warrior's what parts of land they wanted then, they squatted, lived on and harvest the best land that the warrior's knew the buffalo graze at. to take more then what was allotted, the government wouldn't let the warrior's have their land back. The warriors fought other tribes was bad enough. When white men and women marry and have half breed chrildren.This story is how it came about with Charlie and Meowlark. Wonderful story of warrior half breed and a pure Kanas breed women. Will they marry only to read this wonderful book by Zina!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Difficult Choice!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2019
    1856 Kansas Territory. Torn between two two nations, Charlie lives with his American father who owns a trading post. His mother was of the Kansa tribe on which land once belonged to them and now is the white mans. Feeling torn because he is not always accepted so he goes to his mother’s tribe
    There he will meet Meadowlark and have to decide which way his life will take. Could he stay with the tribe or go back to his father?
    I cannot even imagine the hardships and decisions that had to be made during this time in history. Zina Abbott brings history alive in this story of choices and being pulled in two directions. Which one to choose or can he do both? A story that will pull at the heart!

    What I enjoy about all of Zinna's books is the historical details she weaves throughout her romances. So not only do I enjoy the story I often learn something as well. Charlie's Choice is a great read.

    I LOVED the intimate knowledge of native American tidbits that I learned. It really makes you feel like someone is telling you a true story of someone they know personally. Gives me a lot of questions I now want to ask the 90 year olds that I know before they are gone.
