Set in the 1870’s, this is the story of a Blackfoot Indian and a young English girl whose two diverse cultures do not prevent their paths from crossing. With the energy of the European settlers establishing their farms and the surrender of overwhelmed native tribes to reserves, this corner of the world is primitive but prosperous, full of stand-offs, love and hate.
Events and fate bring the need for the white and the native to listen to each other’s wisdom. And the most unacceptable relationship, abhorred by both sides, somehow has a peacemaking power of its own. This rich and wholesome story rewards the reader with the unexpected, and travels to other parts of the world in this time in history.
