Christine Mast and her beau, Andy Lambright are hoping to get married. They live in the West Kootenai region of Montana. But Andy gets called to his parents’ home to help with some things and Christine’s family decides to move back to Kansas near relatives. Christine doesn’t want to leave so talks her father into letting her live with her uncle and aunt in St. Ignatius while she waits for Andy. Christine meets Raymond Old Fox, a native that lives on the reservation near her uncle’s store and she is anxious to learn as much as she can about his culture. There is no romantic relationship but it is very eye raising to the locals and her aunt and uncle get very upset about the arrangement. She almost gets exiled to Kansas before Andy solves his own dilemmas and returns for her.
This was a very interesting exchange of cultural information between an Old Order Amish girl and a Native man. I enjoyed what I learned from it as well as just the love story involved.
I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.
