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.

May is given the opportunity
to start over as part of a
US government experiment to
breed white women with Indians.
Clever premise doesn't disappoint.
