Client’s Review

Criss Wynters has a gift for weaving stories that transport readers to another world. Bean Woman is a masterpiece that beautifully combines rich cultural heritage with universal themes of love, respect, and balance. A must-read for anyone who cherishes meaningful storytelling.

As someone deeply interested in Indigenous traditions, I found Bean Woman to be both enlightening and inspiring. Criss Wynters not only preserves the legacy of the Occaneechi people but also brings their values to life in a way that’s accessible to modern readers.

This story touched my heart in ways I didn’t expect. The characters and their journeys reminded me of the importance of staying true to oneself and finding harmony in relationships. I couldn’t put it down

I read Bean Woman with my children, and they were captivated by the vivid characters and timeless message. It’s the perfect blend of entertainment and education, and we had wonderful discussions about the themes of nature and balance.

Although deeply rooted in Occaneechi culture, Bean Woman speaks to people from all backgrounds. The lessons about respect for individuality and harmony with nature resonate with everyone. This book has a global message.

Criss Wynters’ lyrical prose and vibrant descriptions make Bean Woman an unforgettable read. It feels like sitting around a campfire, listening to a cherished tale passed down through generations.

This story is begging for illustrations—it’s so vivid and imaginative! I can’t wait to see how it evolves with artwork that brings these incredible characters and landscapes to life.
