I really enjoyed the story of Maddie and Fox. There was so much sizzle between them!  I loved Maddie's gram, brother, and her father.  The fact that she had a half-sister who was Indian added to the realness of this novel.  I also appreciated how much time and effort the author took with historical details.  I read about Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane years ago in school, but these characters really came alive for me when I read this book.  I also can imagine how hard it was for Fox, and others in his predicament, to be torn between the "white" way of thinking and the "Indian" ideas.  The two worlds could have co-existed in a better way if history had been different...  However, with the storyline, and the setting of the Black Hills, I was better able to see this time in American history--which I really enjoyed.  Thank you, Mrs. Wright, for an excellent novel.  I highly recommend this book, and am looking forward to reading more of her stories.
