Wolverine's Daughter

Wolverine was a legendary warrior. He was also Kelyn of Ketura's father. He had left her mother before she was born. Kelyn cared nothing for the Wolverine or his legends. She wanted nothing to do with him. She grew up in the mountains of Ketura learning to survive, like her father before her as her mother wished. She had to practice much harder than the others of the village due to her occasional bouts of clumsiness. Where others did things gracefully, she was awkward. Where others learned quickly, she had to practice often and thoroughly. When her mother died, the village witch told her that she must find her father if she wanted to find herself. So she began her journey. Kelyn did not wait for trouble to find her. She followed trouble to find the Wolverine. Once found, a battle of witches, barbarians, and sorcery began! Kelyn also found out WHY she was often clumsy. However, she could not understand why that clumsiness vanished at times of danger and battle. One thing was for certain, the Wolverine could not deny she was his daughter and he had definitely met his match! *** Excellent! Like watching Xena and Hercules side-by-side! I plan to look up other books by this amazing author! Highly recommended reading here! ***

This is one of many books by Durgin I have read. She is a great writer. I don't have time alot of time to read, but I make time for Durgin's books. The story is about a young warrior who searches for her father after her mother is killed. She ultimately finds herself on the journey. It is packed with adventure and an array of characters and personalities. Don't pass this one up.

I was very pleasantly surprized by this book! Its heroine is far from being a super-hero (good!), but her character and cultural traits are what enable her to prevail. She learns along the way, since logically she SHOULD be unable to immediately fit in in a new cultural environment, but she also teaches her new acquaintances. GREAT!

This book was about a young women named Kelyn who struggles to live up to her father's legend. Raised by her mother in her father's land she becomes a worrier who lives off the land. She sets out on a journey to discover who she really is and to find her legendary father. I thought that this book was packed full of adventure, emotions, and the struggles of living with mistakes.
