A young girl is taken into a Native Indian tribe that is now taken back into white society by a man who travels around the country reading newspapers (clearly this is a historical fiction). As the girl and the man eventually begin to learn each other's ways, they also learn how to trust. Although this is set in the 1800's, it also is a timeless story. It's about respect for each other. It's about understanding each other's need, even if the person doesn't realize it. For instance, the gentleman who thought he needed to be by himself really needed someone in his life to give him more perspective. His newly adopted daughter needed to be in a world that she belonged- stuck between both a white world and a native world. Those two things seem to happen even today (well, not exactly, but you know what I mean).
