What this book is about
Cord Bennett is half-Cheyenne, living on the Colorado frontier in the 1870s — despised by white settlers, belonging nowhere. When Anne Whitfield's father and brothers nearly beat him to death, she nurses him back to health and refuses to back down when her family insists she leave. Ellen O'Connell's self-published historical Western romance is known for its unusual hero and thoughtful treatment of racial prejudice in the frontier West.
