They were going West, the courageous young Elspeth and her beautiful but ailing married sister, leaving their civilized life in Boston for the uninhabited unknown. Elspeth told herself they were going for her sister's health, but when she looked into her brother-in-law's eyes, she saw greed. When they finally arrived near Santa Fe, Elspeth became friendly with Maria, a young Navajo girl captured and working as a slave.Through Maria, Elspeth began to respect the ways of the Navajo - and to be sympathetic when Maria's brother, Tall Man, swept into the village to rescue her. From the moment Elspeth saw Tall Man, she could not get him out of her mind. She knew she would follow him to the ends of the earth, and that she would forsake her past to embrace the man -- and the Navajo people -- she had fallen in love with forever.
