Carrie Hill hates Indians. Indians killed her parents and ruined her
life.
With nowhere else to go, fifteen-year-old Carrie signs on to help care
for the family of Beaver Dick Leigh, an English trapper. To her dismay,
Carrie discovers that Beaver Dick's wife, Jenny, is a Shoshoni Indian!
But as Carrie's wounds heal under Jenny's gentle care, she begins to
respect and love this kind woman.
Beginning each chapter with an excerpt from Beaver Dick Leigh's actual
journals, Kristiana Gregory brings alive the people and the dramatic
setting of a bygone era.
