A whole new world is opened for Mandy. Through the teachings and the eyes of the white teacher, Mandy slowly, gradually, discards her insidious, lifelong feelings of racial inferiority, and self-loathing.

The turbulent events of this time in American History, results in the two sisters finding themselves living in, and experiencing the three cultures, and one sister is forced to choose between her life-long love for her sibling, or the love that develops between her and a Comanche Warrior.

Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV TO THE SAND HILLS ONE thing was sure: Running Eagle had not gone to war, else she would have got a medicine man to pray for her during her absence.
