Moon of the Falling Leaves: The Lakota Moon Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781520763040)

Attention Readers: New Edition of the Original Publication by Highland Press - New Cover with Original Content Here What does a woman do when she finds herself and her children stranded alone in the wilderness, on the side of a mountain with winter looming? Jessica Maxwell finds out just how uncertain life can be when her husband leads them away from the wagon train in search of gold. Then he dies in the Rocky Mountains after destroying their wagon while trying to get through a treacherous pass. A Lakota Sioux Warrior appears at her campsite, offering help. Once past her initial fear of him, she grudgingly accepts, recognizing she needs his assistance to survive. What does a reclusive Lakota Warrior do when he is obliged to give aid to those he dislikes? Swift Eagle, guided by nightly visions, travels until he comes upon the family that his dream has shown him. Reasoning that the family will die without his help, he accustoms himself to the idea of contact with these white intruders into his land. A man who seeks solitude, the Lakota resists caring about the white family, but fails entirely in face of their need. The white woman's proud bearing, courageous spirit and underlying gentleness seep into his heart, no matter that he resists.
