Foreword Reviews IndieFab finalist Book of the Year 2013<\/p>\n

Dan Poynter EBook Awards, Silver Medal;Popular Fiction 2014<\/p>\n

\u00a0Literary Fiction Book Review\u2019s Spring Spotlight Award 2015<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe book captures all of the emotion and uncertainty of being a teenager, delivered through the practiced and nonjudgmental eye of an experienced writer. Collison shows us the world as seen by teens\u2014filtered through music and in constant threat of overwhelming us by its magnitude\u2026\u201d Peter Dabbene; Foreword Reviews<\/em> <\/a>Clarion Review<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re three lost kids, geographically and spiritually, yet they\u2019re specific and recognizable types\u2026Much to the author\u2019s credit, all of them are believably flawed\u2026The resolutions of Ramie\u2019s and LaRoux\u2019s quests are fairly predictable but still well-laid, though Chas\u2019s story turns out to be the more intriguing one, especially in the end.\u201d Kirkus Reviews<\/a>; Oct. 8, 2013<\/p>\n

“Three teens embark on a soul-searching road trip in this introspective coming-of-age story…\u00a0 An engaging journey of self-discovery.”\u00a0 Publisher’s Weekly<\/a>; June 8, 2015<\/p>\n

“An engaging, well told, often lyrical narrative that never falters.”\u00a0 Literary Fiction Book Review<\/a>; July, 2015<\/p>\n

\u201cAn entertaining, colorful, and, at times, heartbreaking journey, capturing all the vibrancy and pathos of the teenage years. Collison adeptly tells her tale through vivid imagery, characterization, and dialogue. It was a joy to read, and makes me want to read more from this talented author.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Barbara J. Dzikowski, author of Searching for Lincoln\u2019s Ghost<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn this exceptionally well-written coming-of-age novel, ‘Looking for Redfeather’, Linda Collison’s convincing contemporary dialogue slaps the reader right in the front seat of the car for a whirlwind road trip across America.\u201d Margaret Muir, author of The Black Thread<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cCollison\u2019s descriptive writing summons the essence and heart of the old-fashioned road trip across the desert southwest, and in the process she addresses the desire to run away that haunts many of us\u2014that sometimes in running away from ourselves we haven\u2019t realized that whatever we think is missing from our lives has been hidden inside us all along. A fun, short read for the teenager in all of us.\u201d Kathleen Cunningham Guler, author of Macsen\u2019s Treasure Series<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Looking for Redfeather<\/em> is available from Audible.com, read by Aaron Landon.<\/a><\/p>\n
