Reviews

[Lola · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a feel good story.
Chandra, a rich, young widow, meets Midnight Falcon, the young chief of a local Indian tribe in colonial Jamestown. Chanda's ornery brother and his daughter Shannon live with her in her mansion.
It's love at first sight when Chandra and Midnight Falcon meet. Chandra keeps her new relationship a secret from her brother because he hates Indians--his wife was killed by an Indian tribe, although it was a different one. Shannon has a friendship with Midnight Falcon's sister that she is hiding from her father, also. The girls are teaching each other about their cultures.
The spirit of Pocahontas also figures into the story.
