Reading Open Spaces was a true joy. Although Jay was telling "his" story, it also became mine as I became
a part of the adventures, a part of the journey that he shares with the reader. I felt as if Leonard was my father,
teaching me the wisdom of the people. I shared in Jay's joy with laughter and in his sadness with tears. This
is one of the best writings I have been blessed to read. Jay writes with humor, candidness and respect. I cannot
recommend it highly enough to anyone interested in the native culture or anyone who is open enough to learn the
message of this book.
