Whispers Among the Prairie

The world of the Cheyenne is changing. Morning Dove, the adopted daughter of Chief Black Kettle is learning more of the White Man's world. Speaking their language is important to her father, so she is doing her best. As the Spirit of an old Medicine Man begins to contact her, she is frightened. She does not know what he wants from her, but she does not feel up to the task. There are others that are better suited to that. After the massacre at Sandy Creek, her tribe is moved, and there fate begins to change again.
She is pulled in two different directions. She wants to be free, and she wants to do the best she can for her people. When another massacre occurs, she is left without her father and mother – and her bother is part of the Dog Soldiers, which could mean his death at any time.
Clinton is looking for adventure. After the Civil War has ended, he decided to go back into the Army to find himself and regain his purpose. After heading back out west, he meets Morning Dove, and is taken with her. He finds himself wanting to protect her, and at the same time, falling in love with her. But to do so would go against everything, including his commission in the Cavalry. He must decide if he is going to follow his heart, or his career...
Interesting book! An interesting adventure that spans the plains of the American West. I loved the references to Fort Hays, as I lived there for a time while growing up.
