From the award-winning author of One Thousand White Women, a novel
in the tradition of Little Big Man, tracing one man's search for
adventure and the wild Apache girl who invites him into her world
When Ned Giles is orphaned as a teenager, he heads West, hoping to
leave his troubles behind. He joins the 1932 Great Apache
Expedition on their search for a young boy, the son of a wealthy
Mexican landowner, who was kidnapped by wild Apaches. But the
expedition's goal is complicated when they encounter a wild Apache
girl in a Mexican jail cell, victim of a Mexican massacre of her
tribe that has left her orphaned and unwilling to eat or speak. As
he and the expedition make their way through the rugged Sierra
Madre mountains, Ned's growing feelings for the troubled girl soon
force him to choose allegiances and make a decision that will haunt
him forever.
