"Restoring Hope" another one of Ruth Ann Nordin's Best, is a tender, sensitive story of Woape, a young Mandan Indian woman who is taken prisoner by a rival tribe's cruel warrior, Hothlepoya. Tortured and humiliated, Woape, escapes in the middle of the night.  All seems lost until she crosses paths with Gary Milton, a kind young white man. He doesn't know why three Indian men want to harm her, but he is sure of one thing: he must save her. So he does. Woape clings to him and follows him everywhere.  Gary nicknames her tenderly, "his shadow," as he falls irrevocably in love with her.  She becomes his wife, but this is only the start of their adventure, as the ruthless Hothlepoya has sworn to find her.Ruth Ann Nordin has a wonderfully creative imagination. That's why I'm drawn to her books. She has that special quality of writing a romance with mystery and adventure all dovetailing to thoroughly entertain and permanently hook her reader.I give "Restoring Hope" a well-deserved Five Stars."Restoring Hope" is the first of a planned Native American Romance trilogy.  I look forward to reading them all.
