author: Fields, Gina
description: Although only one-quarter Cherokee, Ethan is loyal to his Native American heritage. For years he's watched the slow decline of the Cherokee nation; soon he'll see its complete demise when his people are forced from their homes. The last thing on his mind is falling in love.
  
  Ethan know, the first time he laid eyes on Lillian, that there was something special about the fiery, independent schoolteacher. But is it fair to ask her, a woman accustomed to properity and convenience, to share his family's grief?
  
  Can Ethan's newfound faith in God remain steadfast in the midst of heartbreak? And will Lillian remain loyal to the One she's always looked to in times of trouble--even if it means she and Ethan must go their separate ways?
