Product Description
Product Description
The Van Nelle family settled along the South Platte River in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains. They brought with them their indentured servant, Pauline Stewart. Eighteen-years-old and long passed paying off her bond, Pauline is treated as a slave, her beauty hidden by the ravages of life on the farm. Into this bleak, austere world comes the Van Nelle's first contact with the neighboring Arapaho, on whose land they have settled. Resenting the intrusion, but realizing they must trade to stay on the land, the Van Nelles become frequent hosts to the Arapaho. Soon one of the braves decides to offer for Pauline in trade. Struck by the girl's beauty, both the brave and a young trapper want her for their wife. When gold nuggets become part of the brave's barter, greed shine's brightly from the eyes of the Van Nelle's. They will stop at nothing, not even war, to keep from getting what they want. Caught in the middle, Pauline must find her way between two worlds and a war that could claim all that she holds dear.
Ingram
A young bond-servant is mistreated by her pioneer family in the wilderness. Desired by an Arapaho brave and the young trapper who helps her to escape, the girl must find her way between two worlds, two men, and a war that could destroy them all.

Mind Capturing Book that Keeps you turning,
By heather (Colorado Springs, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: South Platte: Rivers West Series (Mass Market Paperback)
Jory Sherman caprutes your imagination from the first page to the last. The story is absolutely great. I couldn't put the book down. It gives the reader a good look into how settlers and trappers had difficulties settling down and getting accustomed to the new surroundings and wildlife. We see how the lives of new settlers are affected by Indians. Jory Sherman presents his main characters as bold people, willing to explore what lays beyond their camps. He is an excellent author, causing a feeling of closeness to the characters in this book. We feel for Sheila and Davey as they attempt to overcome their problems. We can understand their pains and happiness. I would Suggest that anyone who likes old fashioned, historical settings to read this book. You will not be disappointed
