When Anna Carpenter’s mother is diagnosed with tuberculosis, Anna’s life is turned upside down. With her parents forced to move to New York for treatment, Anna feels she had become a burden on her family, and she heads west to find a home as a Mail Order Bride. But Anna’s life takes yet another turn when her stage is attacked, and she is kidnapped by a tribe of angry Indians and held for ransom.
But as her time with the Indians passes, Anna finds herself more worried about her life with her intended than her fate with the tribe. While the Indians seem kind and gentle, their tales of the settlers’ treatments of them are much more disturbing. With time, Anna finds herself drawn to Mingan, a brave warrior of the tribe, and a man with his own deep sorrow. So when a meeting with the settlers leads to violence, Anna finds herself forced to take a stand, and make a choice that could change the path of her life forever.
