Loretta Simpson watched as her parents were killed by Comanche Indians seven years ago. Loretta was so traumatized by the attack that she has not spoken since then. Now, they are circling her aunt's house, demanding that the 'yellow-hair' (Loretta) be brought out to them.

Hunter of the Wolf has been raised with an ancient prophecy about honoring a blond-haired woman and leaving his People to start a new life with her in the far West. Thus begins a fascinating story of love and hate from both the white man and the Indian's point of view.

This is a long story that includes rape as well as loving sex. The story seemed very realistic; Catherine Anderson has certainly studied the Comanche Nation's gods, culture and belief system. A fascinating novel.
