Mountain Echoes (Walker Papers, Book 8)

With Joanne Walker, C.E. Muphy has created a character with one of the most honest voices in any genre I've come across. Having faithfully read every installment of The Walker Papers, I feel as though I've come to know this character intimately, and through her adventures, watched her learn and grow as a person and Shaman. This is C.E.Murphy's greatest gift to her readers; a fully realized protagonist who is flawed as most of us are, but her boundless courage, her humor, and increasing self-awareness makes her admirable and likeable. I won't recap the storyline but a great deal is revealed that explains why Joanne is the woman I have come to know through these books. I found this to be probably the most accessible of all her books, though I've enjoyed every one,of them immensely. While I'm saddened that only one book remains in the series, I look forward to seeing how Ms Murphy sends Joanne off into the world.
