Have you ever wondered what life was like for the first Americans?
Young Mattie McKennon, spunky and curious, was starting her married life in the unsettled Nebraska Sandhills. Her husband, the local sheriff, spent his time chasing cattle rustlers, leaving her often to fend for herself in this solitary expanse. Then one lonely night, the full moon whisked her away to an earlier place and time.
Mattie finds herself under the charge of a Pawnee man, who mistakes her for an Apache girl. The unlikely pair set off on a two-hundred-mile journey upriver to a mysterious destination. Along the way, Mattie learns the Pawnee way, from their food to their beliefs. Saddle up and ride along with Mattie and Roaming Crow to discover the lifestyle of the Pawnee, Nebraska’s original corn huskers.
Wonders lurk beyond that next river bend and hulking sand mountain—but the most incredible surprise lies in their ultimate destiny.
