[Prairie Winds 01] • Walks the Fire

IT WAS AN “IMPOSSIBLE” RESCUE

When a buffalo stampede overruns her covered wagon, a terrified young pioneer woman finds herself alone on the prairie—until she’s rescued by a Lakota Sioux brave.

The last thing Jesse King expects to find among the Lakota Sioux is peace, a sense of belonging—and love. But when ‘Rides the Wind’, the warrior who rescued her and expects her to help raise his motherless child, finally gives her his heart, Jesse is forever divided between the world she once lived in and the world of the Lakota Sioux.

Taken as a captive by the Lakota Sioux, young Jesse King wonders what lies in store for her. Forced to raise a young child whose mother died, Jesse learns the way of the tribe and eventually accepts the love of ‘Rides the Wind’, the child’s father. Soon she’s living a life she never expected in a prairie she barely knew. Jessie finds God’s tender mercies in a young Indian woman, and through her friendship and guidance learns a new culture, until, one day, she’s snatched from her new family to once again face life as a white woman with a daughter to raise.

“Walks the Fire” is both a tender love story and a thrilling adventure.
