Torn Between Worlds

Rich with vivid details, this meticulously researched action adventure transports the reader to an 1849 wagon train. Not a formulaic romance. A must-read for fans of historical westerns or women's fiction. Born of Indian blood, Lydia is the adopted daughter of a poor white farmer. Viewed as a savage, she is ostracized by the isolated Ozark community. Outcast from social events, she lives in the shadows of society.

When violence against Lydia’s family escalates, she realizes that attempts to live by her mother’s teachings, ‘being a lady so society would accept her’, had been a failure and her presence was now endangering her adoptive parents. She does not belong in Possum Hollow. She is tied to another land.

In the summer of 1849, Lydia sets out on the California Oregon trail with her neighbors and Joe, the blue eyed gun-slinging trail boss, hoping to find the Indian family she does not know, a home, and a place of acceptance. The moccasins her mother gives her, saved since childhood, are the only clue to her heritage.

The emigrants must endure a precarious existence of river crossings, cholera, stampedes, and a new kind of prejudice. Despite the challenges, Lydia’s strength and courage grow. Romance blossoms. Although a sharp-tongued red head also lays claim to the trail boss. When fierce Sioux warriors visit camp, not once, but twice, specifically to trade for her, having heard of her heroism for rescuing a drowning boy, tensions between the two sides increase. Lydia has always been unafraid of Indians, despite stories of massacres and scalpings, but even she becomes uneasy.

Not being truly white nor truly Indian, Lydia belongs to neither world. To find happiness, Lydia must choose between life with her Indian family and the white man she loves.
