  • "When May Dodd journeys west into the unknown in 1874, it's a far better fate than the life she leaves behind. Committed to an insane asylum by her blue-blood family for loving a man beneath her station, May's only hope of freedom is a secret government program whereby women from the "civilized" become the brides of Cheyenne warriors. This is the story of May's breathtaking adventures: first a romance with a young Army captain; then marriage to the great chief Little Wolf; caught between two worlds, loving two men, living two lives."
  • "An American western with a most unusual twist, this is an imaginative fictional account of the participation of May Dodd and others in the controversial "Brides for Indians" program, a clandestine U.S. government-sponsored program intended to instruct "savages" in the ways of civilization and to assimilate the Indians into white culture through the offspring of these unions. May's personal journals, loaded with humor and intelligent reflection, describe the adventures of some very colorful white brides (including one black one), their marriages to Cheyenne warriors, and the natural abundance of life on the prairie before the final press of the white man's civilization--Booklist."
  • "Based on an actual historical event but told through fictional diaries, this is the story of a remarkable woman who travels west in 1875 and marries the chief of the Cheyenne nation."@en
