My Opinion:

This is book #2 in the  Dreamcatcher Series. I did not read the first book because I didn't know there was a first book (A Sweetness to the Soul) but if it is as good as Love to Water My Soul then I really missed out!  Yes, I definitely plan to read the first one.

Love to Water My Soul has such well developed characters that I couldn't put it down. I felt like I was right there with Asiam on her journey through good times and hard times.

It is so beautifully written. Although the writing gets a little flowery at times, I feel it made the story come alive. A glossary of Native-American words is included before the first chapter. Knowing what the words meant made it feel very authentic.

This is a powerful read about  survival and perseverance with much love, hope and faith. I recommend this book.
