description: A poignant and accurate portrait of Native American life in the 1800's told almost entirely from the Native American point of view. A Cheyenne woman's extraordinary healing powers and unique sensitivity lead her on an unforgettable odyssey into a primeval world of wilderness and mystery.AS THE WINDS OF CHANGE SWEPT ACROSS THE VAST WESTERN PLAINS, HER NAME WAS A CRY OF HOPE, FREEDOM - AND DESIREThey called her Medicine Wolf, and she was born at a time when buffalo herds stretched farther than the sharpest eye could see-a time when a people called the Cheyenne were a proud and free nation. In the sixth summer of her life the events that shaped the destiny of this proud, beautiful, and exotic woman began: a brutal kidnapping, a miraculous vision, and a daring rescue by a great white wolf and a fiercely courageous boy. Her unforgettable odyssey would take her into a primeval world of wildness and mystery where an ancient way of life was ending and another younger, vital, but more violent one was struggling to be born.Across the windswept plains, the white men were coming to seize the land and break a piople's spirits-and their hearts. But fate would bring Medicine Wolf a love so deep and unyielding that nothing on earth could stop it...a passion she would traverse the land to find-and follow the haunting, heartbreaking path of the wolf to keep.
