Description

Colleen didn't mean for Ma and Pa to think that the wagon woman's baby was their own. It was almost an accident, the way her stillborn little sister got switched with the dying woman's newborn; Ma was too ill to know what was happening, and Pa was away. The woman begged Colleen to take the baby girl and keep it safe from her cruel husband, so how could Colleen refuse? She meant to tell Ma and Pa the truth about that night, but somehow it never seemed the right moment . . . now what if they think she did the wrong thing? Would baby Bonnie be taken away? Can she really keep the secret forever, though? Frances Arrington, author of the critically acclaimed Bluestem, vividly evokes the lonesome, wild beauty of the 1860s American prairie in this gripping tale of secrets that leads to lies. - from Amzon
