Description
An outcast Society belle falls in love with a Navajo man. Can they defeat the woman who’s driven to destroy their happiness?
After falling from grace with her family in Philadelphia, Alicia Beaufort is shunted off to relatives in the Arizona Territory. Medical trauma has left her with an infirmity, and the reproaches of her family have undermined her ability to trust. But she gradually comes to realize that White’s Station has what she’s always longed for: simplicity and peace.
Yet all is not quite as it seems in the tranquil village.
Alicia begins to keep company with Tommy Twelve Trees, a gifted Navajo blacksmith, but soon finds herself clashing with her aunt, who hates Tommy because of his race, and who is sending lie-filled letters to her family back home.
While Alicia does her utmost to save her reputation with those she left behind, the man who ruined her arrives in White’s Station. Alicia is terrified that her past will become known—that the villagers and Tommy, whom she’s come to love, will turn against her.
With her family relationships in chaos and past transgressions looming, Alicia knows she has to fight for the future she wants with Tommy, but she has no experience to draw on.
Can Alicia find the strength to take a stand against her family and former lover? Or will all her dreams come to naught?
