A Whispersync deal on an ebook like this usually doesn't meet my standards. I like to post Whispersync deals where there are huge difference between the price of the Whispersync deal and the price of the audiobook alone at Audible. This ebook doesn't really fit the bill. But with the regular price for the audiobook being unusually reasonable, and with the substantial length of narration and great ratings, the Whsipersync deal on this ebook gets my nod.

Genre: Non-Fiction (Social Sciences/Ethnography).
Author(s): Mary Brave Bird; Richard Erdoes (contributor).

Amazon URL (you can get the whole Whispersync deal here): https://www.amazon.com/Ohitika-Woman.../dp/B00R1W9OO8.
Comments: The book is #1 in two Kindle store categories and #1 in one regular Kindle book category.
Book Description (Amazon):
The beloved sequel to the now-classic Lakota Woman, Ohitika Woman follows Mary Brave Bird as she continues her powerful, dramatic tale of ancient glory and present anguish, of courage and despair, of magic and mystery, and, above all, of the survival of both body and mind. Coming home from Wounded Knee in 1973, married to American Indian movement leader Leonard Crow Dog, Mary was a mother with the hope of a better life. But, as she says, “Trouble always finds me.” With brutal frankness she bares her innermost thoughts, recounting the dark as well as the bright moments in her always eventful life. She not only talks about the stark truths of being a Native American living in a white-dominated society but also addresses the experience of being a mother, a woman, and, rarest of all, a Sioux feminist. Filled with contrasts, courage, and endurance, Ohitika Woman is a powerful testament to Mary’s will and spirit.
