When Kezawin, known to her people as Double Woman Dreamer, first met James Garrett, she believed he'd come to her before, in one of her most troubling dreams. But the strange white man shared her interest in the plants that grew in her homeland-hers, for feeding and healing, and his, for what he called 'science'.
She couldn't help being drawn to the stranger, though she knew the attraction was doomed. According to Lakota legend, a woman like Kezawin, one who'd dreamed of the changeling known as Deer Woman, might well become a powerful healer, but her love could kill a man. And Kezawin wasn't about to take that chance.
Naturalist James Garrett knew Kezawin felt something for him. Why else would she have risked her life to save him from an excruciating death at the hands of her enemies? Still, he wondered why was she resisting him now. And how far did he have to go to convince her that their love was strong enough to keep them both safe?
