Publisher's summary

Adopted at 13, Dell Jordan was loved, mentored, and encouraged to pursue her passion for music. Now, at 20, after a year abroad with a traveling symphony, a scholarship to Julliard is within reach. But underneath Dell's smoothly polished surface lurk mysteries from the past. Why did her mother abandon her? Who was her father? Are there faces somewhere that look like hers - blood relatives she's never met?

Determined to find answers, Dell sets off on a secret journey into Oklahoma's Kiamichi Mountains, drawn by the only remaining link to her origins - a father's Native American name on her birth certificate. In the voices of her Choctaw ancestors, she'll discover the keys to a future unlike anything she could have imagined.

Critic reviews

"Wingate gives her readers a tender and compassionate conclusion to her Tending Roses stories, tying together the spiritual threads that connect all her characters and leaving the reader filled with hope." (Booklist)

"Wingate paints a riveting picture of the Choctaw Nation as one woman searches for the family she never knew. Heartfelt and revealing." (RT Book Reviews)

"With a voice as authentic and finely penned as any I have read, the author tells a tale that is both achingly sad and quietly triumphant.... A skillfully crafted book filled with the language of poets and the heart - simply, yet beautifully told." (Armchair Interviews)

More please

Lisa Wingate should reconvene this series now that it’s been more than a decade. We need to see how these characters have matured and see what their children are up to. I miss this crazy family.

She did it again!

I discovered Lisa Wingate last year and fell in love with her books. This book is wonderful and I love how Lisa wound up the ending and Dell got her heart’s desire to know that her mother did look at her in the same way she looked at Angelo. It’s as if all her questions were answered and the spiritual connection to her heritage resolved.

You can never go wrong with a Lisa Wingate novel

A Thousand Voices did not disappoint.

A lovely, sing-song feeling story of Dell, a young half-Choctaw woman trying to sift through her past while not disturbing her present. Rich with tidbits of Choctaw history, A Thousand Voices finds Dell searching for her birth father in secret so as not to hurt her adoptive white parents. When Dell meets the Reed family over the Labor Day Choctaw pow wow, she is filled with a new sense of belonging as she learns about her heritage as she instills some lessons of her own to her new friends.

A very easy flow to the book that will keep you wanting to turn the page. I’m always so impressed at the easy flow of dialogue in a Lisa Wingate book and A Thousand Voices left me smiling at its reality.

A very good book.

I want more!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Tending Roses series, but this may just be my favorite one. When I got to the end I was left wanting to know more about Dell’s story.
Lisa’s characters are well developed and so real. I want to know them and be part of their lives.
