Great ending to the series! It felt like the perfect closure, ending with Dell and seeing her journey into her own self and adulthood.

I didn’t feel that the ending had a great resolution, and the story in itself seemed a little contrived. I understand why the main character’s internal conflict was written in such detail, but often it left me frustrated with her.

I haven't read any of the preceding books in the series and kinda wonder if that would have helped my understanding of the characters by. I did start skimming through some of the detail and inner dialogues in the last quarter of the book as it seemed to drag on. The romantic thread seems unrealistic and unnecessary to me Just ready to get to the end! The ending felt rushed and up in the air. I do wish there had been an epilogue to resolve the unanswered questions.
I love this series! The author really does a great job of tying in the details from one book to the next... sad that this is the last one, but at least it ends on a positive note :-)
This was my least favorite of all the Lisa Wingate books I've read. It's a sequel to her previous books, "Tending Roses" and "The Language of the Sycamores" and continues the story of Dell, who was adopted by Karen and James.
Dell has been loved and mentored by her adoptive parents and given every opportunity to study and learn and travel. At twenty, she is feeling the pressure to attend Juilliard and continue her music. However, she has always wondered about her birth parents and her Native American heritage. Why did her mother abandon her, who was her father?
Dell decides to find out who her father is and sets off on her own, secret trip to Oklahoma and the land of her Choctaw ancestors. Along the way, as with every Wingate story, she finds bits of herself. Again, with sequels, past characters crop up here and there.
I like Dell and I appreciated that Lisa Wingate wanted to tell her story. I found it very contrived though. The ending isn't believable and wraps up far too neatly.

I thought A Thousand Voices by Lisa Wingate was a wonderful little book, but if I read the whole series it would probably be even better. I did not quite like the ending, but overall I loved it; I started it and didn't put it down until it was done. I will probably read it again one day.
The ending ruins the entire book for me so I'm going to need this not to be the end of the series.

Amazing story! What a decision to search for your biological parent at the risk of hurting your adopted parents. Loved learning more about Native American history and their culture today! What a surprise at the end…. I hope there is another book in the works that will tie up all the unanswered questions!!
