Title: Shadow over Wide Ruin
Description: "This is the story of Hepzibah Plumb, who went from Denver to her uncle's trading post in New Mexico, in 1885. This was Navajo country, and, fortunately for Hepzy, the 'bah' that ended her name
was a word of good omen with the Indians. Because of it, they were prepared to accept her as a white woman apart from all other white women. That they also grew to love her happened only because Hepzy outgrew her small-town "white" ways and came to love 'the People' too.
       The Navajo boy, Dolito, was a fascinating person who didn't seem quite like the other Navajos. He helped Hepzibah to establish herself with his people and to solve the strange mystery that hung over the trading post at Wide Ruin. And in helping her, he came to know and love her and to reveal the strange story of his life.
       Adventure, mystery, the development of character, and the fascinating story of a great people make this good reading. By the author of 'Whispering Girl,' 'Shuttered Windows,' 'Tangled Waters.' and other popular books for girls."
