Priscilla came to the Dakota territories to help her missionary father "civilize" the Indians. But the Minnesota-bred beauty was enchanted by the ways of the Lakota Sioux...and by a proud warrior called Whirlwind Rider, who awakened a magnificent passion within her—wondrous, forbidden...as elemental as the fire and the rain. In a century-old steamer trunk, journalist Cecily Metcalf discovers the diary of a remarkable young woman whose words reach out across time—touching Cecily's heart, leading her back to her handsome, enigmatic first love, Kiah Red Thunder...inspiring them both in their glorious, dangerous quest to reclaim a lost and powerful passion.
