THE WHITE DOVE
by Lois Thompson Bartholomew
Princess, Patriot, Prisoner. Now Tasha must set her feet on an even more dangerous path, the path to join the man she loves in a fight for freedom
.
The old man quietly turned his chair so that he was by her side. "I have a gift," he said simply. "For you and the child." She felt the warmth of his hand as he pressed a small bundle into her palm...She did not need to look to know what the old man had given her. It was a necklace, a braided chain of rawhide fastened to a small wooden dove, its wings outstretched in a flight to freedom. She and Raina had not been forgotten.
What others have said about
"...Readers will not want to put this book down. Accounts of treachery, deceit, and truth rewarded fill this novel. Escaping from caves and a dungeon, Tasha's determination to oust Com and rejoin the rebels gives her the courage to strive for her personal freedom and the freedom of her country. Boundless determination, hope, and desire put into action--these are the messages here." Copyright 2000 Kirkus Associates, All rights reserved. Starred review.
"The White Dove captures your imagination and takes you to another time. You travel along in the journey for freedom from tyranny and get lost in the struggles of Tasha. A perfect book for young readers or readers of any age. You will not want to set it down but keep reading until you turn the last page." Stephanie Gerla
"The White Dove is enjoyable, clean reading! I picked up the book intending to read just a short time but couldn't put it down till I finished it. "Louise Erekson
