Mountains & Plains Independent Book Association Regional Book Award-Winner -- When May Dodd journeys west into the unknown, it's a far better fate than the life she left behind. Committed to an insane asylum by her blue- blood family for loving a man beneath her station, May's only hope of freedom is a secret government program sending "civilized" women to become the brides of Cheyenne warriors. This is the story of May's breathtaking adventures caught between two worlds, loving two men, living two lives.
When May Dodd journeys west into the unknown in 1874, it's a far better fate than the life she leaves behind. Committed to an insane asylum by her blue-blood family for loving a man beneath her station, May's only hope of freedom is a secret government program whereby women from the "civilized" become the brides of Cheyenne warriors. This is the story of May's breathtaking adventures: first a romance with a young Army captain; then marriage to the great chief Little Wolf; caught between two worlds, loving two men, living two lives.
