Filled with lyrical descriptions, CALL ME THE CANYON will completely transport readers to the Colorado's canyons at the turn of the century. Madolen's character is transformed throughout the course of the book until she develops into a mature young woman. Both historical novel and romance, this is sure to appear to both types of readers. -- Alyssa Feller YA Books Central. 1/2007
