Having been committed to an insane asylum by her blue-blood family for the crime of loving a man beneath her station, May finds that her only hope for freedom and redemption is to participate in a secret government program whereby women from “civilized” society become the brides of Cheyenne warriors. What follows is a series of breathtaking adventures—May’s brief, passionate romance with the gallant young army captain John Bourke; her marriage to the great chief Little Wolf; and her conflict of being caught between loving two men and living two completely different lives.\n\n\n\n\u003cb\u003e“Fergus portrays the perceptions and emotions of women...with tremendous insight and sensitivity.”—Booklist \n\n\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003e“A superb tale of sorrow, suspense, exultation, and triumph.” —Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Publishing Group, 1999","offers":[{"title":"One Thousand White Women The Journals of May Dodd \/ Very Good","offer_id":67674403733796,"sku":"9780312199432VG","price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/3563113482299.jpg?v=1791769519","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780312199432","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
