Rose dreamed of leaving the Sioux reservation in Santee, NE. Now, faced with the wide world, she must decide if she is truly ready to strike out on her own and take the risk.

Rose has fought against the painful abuse of her father and the loneliness of a mother long-dead of a white man’s sickness. When Pete offers her the chance to escape to a new life, she must take it or marry into the same abuse she’s lived for so long.

Pete has always helped Rose from the shadows. Being half-white, he’s had to.
He has loved Rose for as long as he can remember, but he must prove his worth to her by helping her to freedom and safety.

On a Kansas ranch, can Rose forgive Pete for leaving her? Will Pete remain brooding and confused, or grow into the man Rose needs him to be?

My thoughts: this was an interesting at all about an Indian couple fleeing their tribe so the woman could get away from her abusive father. They aren't really sure how to survive in the wilderness which seems odd for Indians back in that day, and ended up staying in the deceased English couples house where they are discovered and helped by a doctor. It was a sweet story with a happy ending and if you like historical novellas you will probably love this story. I was given a copy free and all opinions are my own.
