When May Dodd journeys west into the unknown, 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" world become the brides of Cheyenne warriors. This is the story of May's breathtaking adventure: first a romance with a young army captain; the marriage to the great chief Little Wolf; caught between two worlds, loving two men, living two lives.
