A Love Against the Odds On the perilous journey, Beth’s path crosses with Sparrow Hawk, a kind-hearted and handsome half-breed scout. Despite the budding love between them, their future is uncertain. Beth’s father, harboring deep-seated animosity toward Indians, stands as their greatest obstacle.

A Test of Loyalty and Courage Hawk’s duty calls when he learns of his mother’s imminent death, leaving Beth to continue the journey alone, yet he promises to return for her. As Beth endures life at the isolated fort with her cold, unforgiving father, she aches for Hawk’s return. But can their love survive the relentless challenges? Will Hawk’s promise lead to a joyful reunion or end in heartache, torn apart by her father’s hatred?

Imagine a young girl spending many years in a boarding school because no one loved her. Beth had her friend Frances and that was it in life. Her mom died and she was sent to her father out west. He was military and didn’t want her, so she felt doomed. After her trip, her life changed so much and that is the story. I loved it!” ~Marlene
