Seeking refuge in a world not her own, a beautiful nurse follows her conscience to the reservation of the Lakota Sioux -- hoping to heal the wounds of her ravaged heart. Condemned for a crime he did not commit, a handsome half-breed rodeo rider seeks freedom ... and justice.
Two lonely outcasts separated by culture, stubborn pride and prison bars, their destinies are joined by a shared duty to a helpless child -- and by the blossoming of a bold and magnificent love that a cruel, intolerant society forbids ... but cannot destroy.
