I read positive and negative reviews before I decided to read this book.  I'm glad I did.  I was interested to see the difference in culture between the Native American, Hunter, and all the Americans.  When Hunter and Melissa had an affair, they both came with different ideas and expectations.  Hunter was used to the idea of sex, whereas Melissa was totally sheltered and had no idea what was happening. Neither realized the other had a totally different take on the situation.I could only imagine Melissa's panic when she realized her predicament of pregnancy.  Then of course she had to marry another and try to pass the baby off as his.  I felt horrible for that poor, innocent baby when her husband and his family rejected it.Alanna had to be brave to go search for Hunter.  I believe she realized after being with him for an extended period of time that her prejudice was unfounded, and she couldn't stereotype him--he was not of the same beliefs as those who murdered her family, even though he was Native.I recommend reading this book.
