About the book
She lived in a time when loving the wrong man could mean exile from her home. One man would love her; one man would lose her. Jessica Findlay had lived all her life on the flat Kansas prairie. It was there, the year she turned sixteen, that Jessica fell in love. The young Indian brave, Wheeling Hawk, saved her from a flood, and Jessica's heart was lost. But even the most spirited young woman would have to defy her family and home for so distant a love. And Jessica couldn't see in Will Reynold's eyes, where once there was anger, there now shone a love of his own.
