Drums of Change (Women of the West Book #12)
An Indian girl is forced to go to a reservation with her people where she is confused by the white people's culture and their God.
From the Back Cover
The stillness of the mountains, the pines covering the
hillsides, the gurgle of the spring... this was her home
The prairie fires that sweep the grazing lands, the coming of white
men with their guns and diseases, and the quick slaughter of the
vast buffalo herds leave Running Fawn's Blackfoot tribe with little
choice but to take up residence on the assigned Reserve. All her
life, Running Fawn has known only contentment, but now what will
become of her hopes and dreams?
The Chief's son, Silver Fox, and Running Fawn are chosen to attend
classes at the Mission Boarding School in Calgary. The white man's
way of life isn't the only thing confusing to Running Fawn; the
white man's God both frightens and intrigues her. Could this God
indeed be the creator of the land she loves so dearly? Will she be
forced to choose between the ways of her people and the man she
loves?
