Help.....

[Little Star]

Did anyone post in a lost thread (when DU went flooky a few days ago)? the thread title was "Did you ever read a book that broke your heart ..."

Down in that thread someone mentioned a book title and I replied with "Thanks! I've not read it yet". I also said that I was going to get it to take on winter vacation with me.

The dang thread is lost now & I can't remember the title of the book.

Help anyone?

1. Wow. I posted in that thread & the links do not take me there at all.

In fact there are several links in "My Posts" that are not going where they should.

I don't know how you find it.

2. Thanks. I've tried everything and couldn't find it either....

Maybe the poster who mentioned the book name will read my plea for help.

It's driving me crazy and I really wanted to get the dang book.

[Little Star]

12. fyi, I think scarletwoman helped me find it....

read down thread. Do you recall seeing that title in the thread? I think that's it.

3. Dang! I remember that thread, and I read the whole thing...

but it seems like there were many different books mentioned, and I don't remember any of them. I'm so sorry, I wish I could help.

Still, don't give up. You know, the name of that book is probably going to just pop into your head at some unexpected moment. If it meant enough to you to want to read it, then the title IS rattling around in the dark recesses of your memory somewhere and it's just taking awhile to surface. Have faith!

4. The best I can recall at this point....

is that the book title started with a T and it was only a one word title. Of course my memory ain't what it use to be. I could be completely wrong about that.

Right away I went on Amazon to see if they carried it and they did. Naturally, I wasn't logged in so it's not in my history.

This op is my last ditch try. I'm not sure MY memory will help me out.

5. Do you have any memory at all about what it was about?

Like, was it another book about American Indians? Or was about some other indigenous people somewhere else? Or something else altogether?

When you looked it up on Amazon, was there a picture of the cover displayed?

I'm just asking these questions to help jog your memory - your brain DOES have this information stored, I promise you! You just haven't got a conscious pathway into it yet.

6. My mind keeps telling me it was some type of western....

It was probably about American Indians. Thanks scarletwoman for trying to help me.

7. Well, it helps me, too!

Since I did read that thread, the title of that book should be rattling around somewhere in my memory, too!

8. Take a look at this page:

Just in case it might help...

9. Ya know.....

It might have been Tecumseh
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15753732-tecumseh?from_search=true

I had to go over to Amazon to see in English
http://www.amazon.com/Tecumseh-A-Life-John-Sugden/dp/0805061215

I think that's it! It really looks to be interesting. I'm going to order it.

Thank you so much.

11. Yay! How cool!

13. Wow, I searched & searched & couldn't find it.

[Little Star]

15. Me too!

[Little Star]

14. Yes.......

Thanks.

I told you guys that my memory sucked.

The book I first wanted was actually Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. But I'm going to get both Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee & Tecumseh: A Life by John Sugden.

I'm happy now and I'll have two good books to bring with me on vacation.

Thanks again to all who took the time to help me.

16. You tell that thread suffered badly from the glitch.

There are replies to posts that aren't there, and replies that say they are to one user but the post it says it's a reply to is by a different user. It's way goofed up!
