Song of the Wind
Nancy Morse
- In
- 1878,
- at
- Camp
- Robinson,
- Nebraska
- an
- improbable
- friendship
- forms
- between
- school
- mates
- twelve-year-old
- Makes
- the
- Song,
- the
- strong-willed
- daughter
- of
- Katie
- and
- Black
- Moon,
- fourteen-year-old
- Will
- McIntyre,
- who
- dreams
- of
- becoming
- a
- farmer,
- and
- sixteen-year-old
- Trent
- Fontenelle,
- who
- aspires
- to
- a
- military
- career.
- But
- hostilities
- between
- the
- Army
- and
- its
- Indian
- adversaries
- drive
- the
- friends
- apart.
- Years
- later,
- as
- the
- Lakota
- struggle
- to
- survive
- on
- reservations
- and
- Song
- struggles
- to
- find
- her
- place
- in
- the
- world,
- fate
- conspires
- to
- bring
- the
- trio
- together
- again.
- In
- these
- dangerous
- and
- uncertain
- times,
- which
- man
- will
- claim
- her
- wild
- heart?
- Idealistic,
- hard-working
- Will,
- now
- farming
- along
- the
- Niobrara,
- who
- has
- loved
- her
- from
- afar
- for
- so
- long?
- Or
- Trent,
- now
- Captain
- with
- the
- Seventh
- Cavalry,
- whose
- call
- to
- duty
- comes
- at
- a
- high
- price?
- Amid
- rising
- tensions
- over
- the
- spiritual
- movement
- of
- the
- Ghost
- Dance,
- the
- path
- to
- Song’s
- true
- love
- leads
- to
- a
- creek
- lined
- with
- willows
- and
- cottonwoods
- called
- Wounded Knee.
