Nathan Chasing Elk has been sentenced to prison for the murder of his wife. Catherine Lyons is trying to save the family home, in place of her wayward brother, while avoiding an Apache who would like to make her his squaw. An injury Nathan receives brings he and Catherine together.
They set out to find his daughter, Leah, and the man who actually did murder his wife. Through a series of adventures, they do find Leah and she is returned to her father. After the group travels from the south to the Black Hills, Leah is introduced to her paternal grandmother, who lives in Lakota country. While there, she and Catherine learn many of the old ways of the Lakota tribe.
Just as the new family is starting to settle, Nathan is separated from Catherine and Leah. Only Leah can bring her father and Catherine back together through a surprising twist.
There is a whipping scene at the very beginning of the book that disturbed me. While it is an integral part of the plot, in my opinion, the way it is written was a bit brutal.
A sweet romance that I give 5 stars to.
