About this audiobook
When her husband dies at the Little Big Horn, LisBeth Baird returns home in search of comfort. But her beloved mother has died, and LisBeth rejects the faith that sustained her mother. Will bitterness haunt the rest of her life? What will happen when LisBeth meets her half-brother and realizes the gold locket around Soaring Eagle's neck is the one her husband wore into battle?
Changes beyond his control threaten everything Soaring Eagle has ever known. Cultures collide when the young warrior makes his way to a mission school and meets white people who battle not only for souls but also for a future for the Lakota. Can Soaring Eagle find a life worth living?
Jim Callaway fled a battlefield long ago, but he's still running from a burden of guilt that threatens to crush him. Will he ever accept God's forgiveness? Will he ever think himself worthy of LisBeth's love?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was another very well told story in this Prairie Winds series. I highly recommend you read "Walks the Fire" first because it gives you so much background and insight into this second story. LisBeth King's life is torn apart at the beginning of this story with her grief over her husband being murdered at 'Custer's last stand' and then returning home to find her mother (who was the main character in book one) has passed away also. She finds little comfort in her Christian faith that her Mother raised her in and finds herself floundering to find her place in life. Then there is Soaring Eagle, the angry Sioux warrior whose life has also been destroyed through the white man taking over his land and people. He must come to terms with accepting what is happening and showing people he can change with the times. This will not be easy for this brave warrior, who is also LisBeth's brother who she has yet to meet.Finally you will also get to know Jim Callaway, a man who has seen too much killing of innocent women and children among the Indian tribes. He has fled from his military duties and is seeking answers. All three of these individuals are very different, but they are all searching to find that "peace that passes all understanding". I enjoyed each of their journeys to finding that peace and how the Lord brings them all together in a very special way.The author knows how to weave a great story of faith and love during a time when there was much hate and lack of understanding between the white man and the Indians. This is a series that I will remember reading long after I have finished; and book 3, "Red Bird", is next on my list.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This second book of the Prairie Winds series is as good as the first. Looking forward to the third book!
