Notes from back cover:
 

Moore delves into the activities of mystical worlds that constantly intrude
into our consciousness reflecting a greater spiritual reality than we can
imagine or grasp. She understands the continuity of the spirit that only
manifests itself to us in sudden broken insights and reflections. These are
powerful stories that need attention and help us connect our most diverse
feelings into a satisfactory whole.

With the publication of this collection of short stories, MariJo Moore has
securely established her position in the ranks of the top American Indian
writers.  The stories in Red Woman with Backward Eyes are written with style
and finesse. They bear the mark of an experienced and gifted  craftsperson.

RED WOMAN WITH BACKWARD EYES AND OTHER STORIES is an intricate
interweaving of spirit, heart, mind, and body which transported me into an
incredibly moving reality. In this work, MariJo brings together in her
stories all that makes us human as a prayer-offering of thanks and hope that
sings to all of creation.  I strongly recommend this truly inspiring book.
