Overview: His white man’s name was Jimmy Tayhoe, and the lanky Apache Navajo grew up bold with an outspoken voice for his people. Once a leader in the American Indian Movement, Tayhoe had a one-track mind: Beware of the white race. Now he has come home to the reservation where casinos and hotels have risen up from the very ground that contain his ancestor’s bones. There is even talk of storing the white man’s nuclear waste. Everyone has moved on, and he has remained the same.
Kara Lindstrom, a soil and water analyst from Minnesota, is on her way to the Southwestern Reservation to study the Indians’ sustainable living. Determined to put behind her the ugly end of her wedding engagement, she seeks new perspectives in the serenity of the vast desert. Then a wrong turn leaves her lost and alone in the dark.
Everything in Tayhoe’s life turns upside down when a white woman bursts into his world. Yet slowly they reach a common ground, and Tayhoe offers to be Kara’s guide. The practical arrangement deepens into a connection that leaves them both profoundly changed and shattered by circumstances that could tear them apart.
When Tribal President Leonard Blessing suspects voter tampering regarding a proposed nuclear dump site, he assigns Tayhoe to investigate. Tayhoe learns quickly what happens when rich corporations mix with Indian poverty. Soon he arrested for the kidnapping of the Secretary of the Interior’s young son, and it’s Kara who sets off alone to find the boy. But someone else is searching also, someone who doesn’t want the boy to speak the truth.
