Running Fawn loved her place of birth, the site of the Blackfoot tribe's winter camp, more than words could express. The stillness of the mountain, the giant spruce and pine that covered the hillsides--she couldn't even imagine a different kind of life. This was her home. But the coming of white men with their guns and diseases, and the quick slaughter of the vast buffalo herds leave her Blackfoot tribe with little choice but to take up residence on the assigned reserve. The chief's son, Silver Fox, and Running Fawn are chosen to attend classes at the Mission Boarding School in Calgary. How can she adjust to the strange new world? And how should she respond when Silver Fox shows more than a passing interest in the white man's God--and in her?
