description: Based upon the powerful true story of pioneer heroine Isabel Crawford.Raised in the Canadian wilds in the late 1800s, Isabel Crawford longed to see the world and dedicate her life to others. Driven by courage and a sense of destiny, she rode alone onto the harsh prairie of the Oklahoma Territory where no white man dared trespass. She came because the proud, fierce Kiowa Indians were defeated and dying, massacred when they followed the Ghost Dance rituals, soon to lose the majestic land that had been theirs for centuries.Isabel was determined to teach the Kiowas how to survive in a white man's world, to share their lives as a true sister--but she had no idea of the profound hardships she would face...nor of the lessons she would learn about the power of faith and the awesome strength of the human spirit.Authentic and rich in historical detail, Light on the Mountain captures the emotions of people swept up in a time of tumultuous change, and brings to vivid life an unforgettable chapter in our nation's history--a time to recall with tears...and pride.
