Bridget Moore was more than confident in her ability to govern a classroom of Injun students at the Vermilion Indian School. She’d been taught well, and her uncle was completely assured that she’d be a brilliant addition to the institution, not to mention a credit to her family name. It would be an honor to support her family’s belief in the civilization of the savages in a capacity all her own. However, it takes very little time for Bridget’s confidence to be shaken. Starting with the disruptive behavior of one of her resentful pupils leading to a visit to the reservation where she meets with his father, Bridget’s thoughts and convictions are turned upside down. Ishkode is as angry as his son and Bridget can hardly blame him; his people’s livelihoods were taken from them, and his own son was forced into a boarding school which went against all of his ideals. Though unlikely, through a series of encounters, arguments, and later understandings, Bridget comes to appreciate Ishkode’s position, prompting her to fight for justice in the school. But, it’s the feelings which develop in her heart toward Ishkode that prove to be the hardest to reckon with. Could he be feeling the same? Free on Kindle.
