Helpful Score: 3
Author McKade has written a wonderful love story set in the days following the civil war when the army's mission had turned to exterminating the Indian populations.
Emma Hartwell had been rescued, after a near drowning, and taken to live with a Lakota tribe. Seven years later she is ârescuedâ by the army who massacre many of her tribe. Wounded she is returned to her family but is scorned by them and white society in general for having chosen to live rather than kill herself. Unknown to all is the secret that Emma carries. Soon she leaves to return to her Lakota family but is trailed by Ridge Madoc, a former army scout, who was hired to find her.
The development of the respect and love for Ridge and Emma, even after he discovers the reason for her return to the Lakota is heartwarming. Emma is feisty and I loved the humor that exists between her and Ridge who is also hiding a secret.
There are several unexpected twists and turns which keep the reader spellbound. I highly recommend this book.
