When Bostonian Lily Cabot Chase’s grandfather
promises to pay her expenses through Harvard Medical
School in exchange for her spending a year at the
Indian Hospital on the Navajo Reservation, she
agrees. But when it’s time for her to go, she is
reluctant to slow her momentum to |
 |
|
become a surgeon in that rural hospital.
But she won’t renege on her promise. Her East Coast
upbringing and education have hardly prepared her for
the drastic change in her life among the Navajo.
She soon meets a young tribal
lawyer, Nicholas Nakai, who is running for the newly
drawn Arizona Congressional District. He
is fascinated by the striking, tall redhead and as events
bring them together, they find themselves falling in
love.
But the tribal elders, unhappy with the liaison
and wanting Nicholas to find a Navajo wife to take to
Washington, insist that Lily Cabot Chase leave the
reservation. But she comes back. And the two do get back
together, unaware that they are distantly related.
Woven throughout the main story is the historical
account of Daago, an Indian girl and Captain Nathaniel
Cabot of the United States Army of the West, stationed
in Fort Defiance in 1852 in what will become the Navajo
Reservation. Their child is the common ancestor of both
Lily and Nicholas. |
