A Different Breed — Jessie Ford

The Civil War is over. A way of life is gone. And Honey Radcliffe, a doctor's daughter bred in Southern plantation gentility, is determined to survive-even if it means trekking through the uncharted West, even if it means forfeiting her own desire to be a doctor. But her migration to California is fraught with both physical and spiritual dangers- from Apaches in the hills, from the hostile land, from her growing passion for her charismatic guide Cameron Wolfe. He is a white man raised by Chiricahua Apaches, a complex man caught between his great love for the woman in his keeping and his endangered tribe, between the primitive and the civilized way of life. With them is Shahar, a former slave and seer who steadfastly believes Honey and Cameron are soulmates, destined to be together-if only they can heal the deep differences that separate them... Haunted bye the past, trapped by the present, they must all battle against their passions and their prejudices to live, to love, to survive in the turbulent West.
