I just finished one third of my new project and I'm very excited about this book. When Moon of the Falling Leaves was released and got such a terrific response, I decided this book should follow. Moon of Ripening is a love story, but also a story of survival. During Red Cloud's War, many white people were killed in response to the breaking of the treaty at Ft. Laramie in 1851. This is the story of one white woman's survival when captured by the Lakota. It is also the story of one Lakota Brave's torn loyalties when he finds himself caring about the woman. I will be posting more as this story progresses.
