For all the years Shanoah was forced to attend a harsh boarding school run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, she clung to the idea of going home to her Cherokee family and her native roots. She wants nothing to do with white people and struggles to remember the language she is not allowed to speak.
As a teen, she becomes focused solely on escaping at the next opportunity, leaving her unprepared for winter survival on her journey home, a mistake that nearly kills her. Rescued from starvation and hypothermia by a nurturing white man who arouses feelings she never expected, Shanoah discovers that home is really in the heart.
