Moon Song is Chippewa and doesn't feel welcome in the white man's world anymore and is determined to return to her people. Her friends convince her to let Skypilot accompany her. Even though she wants to walk the entire way, they convince her to board a steamboat to save time.
On the way, a tragic accident leaves Skypilot and Moon Song stranded in the wilderness with a grieving mother. They struggle against the elements, wildlife, and occasionally, each other. Each day that passes, Skypilot's admiration for Moon Song grows, but he can't see a future for them. He's a Christian and she values the beliefs of her people.
Eventually, they make it to safety and Skypilot has no desire to leave. Moon Song doesn't trust white men that promise to stay. Skypilot realizes that without a shared faith, they can't have a future and wonders what God has in store for his life.
This book was pretty good, but I didn't like it quite as much as the other two. Even though this is the third book released, the author has labeled it as the second book in the series. I do believe it is safe to read these out of order and not miss too much. If you want a deeper understanding of the feelings between Skypilot and Moon Song, you might want to read The Measure of Katie Calloway first, but there are mentions of that time together in this book, so you're good either way. Good Book!
