500    "A Tom Doherty Associates book." 
520    Miles City, Montana. 1885. Barnaby Skye's mixed-blood son,
       Dirk, has just married a beautiful Metis girl, Therese. 
       But Dirk's position as a civilian translator for the U.S. 
       army threatens to shatter their union. Montana ranchers 
       wrestling with livestock theft and the incursion of 
       settlers into their range have persuaded the army to send 
       the Metis people back to Canada. The military enlists Dirk
       to translate between the two sides in the brutal campaign.
       Unable to reconcile her love for Dirk with the pain he is 
       inflicting on her people, Therese flees on their wedding 
       night. Heartbroken, Dirk rides off with the army.Therese 
       has a powerful vision. She is inspired to build a church 
       that will be a gathering place for her people and a symbol
       of their resistance to deportation.The suffering refugees-
       -driven into the wilderness by Yankee soldiers and cruel 
       ranch vigilante gangs--find a friend in Dirk and an 
       inspiration in Therese.  In their common cause, the lovers
       are reunited .
