Title: The road home
First published: 1998
Description: The Road Home continues the story of Dalva and her peculiar and remarkable family. It encompasses the voices of Dalva's grandfather John Northridge, the austere, hard-living half-Sioux patriarch; Naomi, the widow of his favorite son and namesake; Paul, the first Northridge son, who lived in the shadow of his brother; and Nelse, the son taken from Dalva at birth, who now has returned to find her. It is haunted by the hovering spirits of the father and the lover Dalva lost to this country's wars.

It is a family history rooted in the Nebraska soil, and intertwined with the destiny of whites and Native Americans in the American West.
