Blue, Abandoned at age two by her mother, left with a gentle Native-American man to be raised until he disappears at age ten. With major answers if her life un-known, she’s forced into self-reliance, and in turn into a tough as nails bad-ass, seeking affection in the typical way a beautiful wayward woman would. I was completely caught off guard with this beautiful story of Blue Echohawk from unknown author Amy Harmon.
What I appreciated the most about this story was that it was about a journey of a woman, but only part of it was the romance, not a novel centered on romance. She learns to live in her own skin, love herself and in turn is able to love others. Her devoted friend says it best -
A Different Blue is tricky to review, without revealing too much. So, I’ll just say that there were several moments I found my heart squeezing in my chest. My tears don’t flow easily, but I found myself clutching my kindle, face crumpled and the tears start to flow. Blue, gutted me, over and over. I will concede that aspects of the story felt a bit hokey and the final revelations a smidge too full-circle. But, the emotions that it pulled from me erased those over-done aspects. I am eager to see where Amy Harmon takes us next.

"I keep wishing that you had had a better life . . . a different life. But a different life would have made you a different Blue."
