for the future that soon would be hers.
They each share goal. Both want to keep the young child
alive. Even so, they will begin their journey as enemies. While tradition and
pride stands in Wolfkeeper's way. Inexperience and uncertainty of making the
right choices stymies Cassie. With each passing day together their emotions
swing back and forth until they reach a breaking point. One realizes only
forgiveness and understanding can resolve the conflict between them. Follow
Wolfkeeper efforts as he tries to make peace with Cassie in terms she never
imagined.
Lisa was kind enough to share an excerpt with us:
Wolfkeeper was nowhere around.
Prancing Bear was the one who returned for her son. Before he reached Timothy,
Cassie stood up. She was going to defy him and keep her son.
‟No!” she said, shaking her head. She held Timothy
tighter to her chest.
Wolfkeeper was nowhere around. The
brave reached pleadingly for the baby. ‟Give the boy to me.”
‟No! I have had enough of this, go
away,” Cassie replied. He took a step closer. Cassie swung her back to Prancing
Bear and ran into the dark woods.
Prancing Bear stayed in the camp,
smiling and thinking his friend had his hands full with this one. He found Wolfkeeper
rubbing down his horse and told him the woman had fled with the child.
There is not anything like white-eyes
swear words in his language, so he borrowed one. It didn’t take long to find
her. Cassie had made so much noise a deaf and blind man could find her. He let her thrash
about for a while. She had no place to go, and no way to get there if she did.
It didn’t take too long for Cassie to come to the same conclusion.
It seemed she knew he was behind her.
When he spoke, she wasn’t even surprised to hear his voice. He could have said,
go home if you must, or come here I will slit your throat. It did not matter.
She didn’t understand him. However, she was lost and they both knew it. She
remained sitting on the ground humming while rocking her infant, back and forth.
This continued for a few minutes
longer. A silent Wolfkeeper waited for her acceptance of the situation.
Eventually, she stood up and followed his lead back to the camp. Prancing Bear
approached her and reached for the boy.
‟No, he’s mine,” she protested.
Wolfkeeper faced her. Cassie watched
his mouth move, but she did not hear a word. A horrendous terror filled her as
she saw the rage take hold of him. She nearly threw her son into Prancing
Bear’s open arms. She began to feel dizzy, for she had stopped breathing.
Wolfkeeper moved toward her...…..

Lisa
Day hails from New Jersey before 'Jersey Girls' became famous. Living in the
south for so long she now thinks of herself as a retired southern bell, just
born in the wrong century. So, what else is a girl to do but write those pesky
stories that live within her head.
Lisa has no desire to be the
next big writer. She didn’t start her writing adventure till she was retired.
Not having the compulsion to write while young she has no skills to fall back
on, or maybe she’d say fall on as ‘fall on a sword.’ Either way, she puts her
books out there for people to read with the hope they will find the story
interesting enough to over look the lack of a formal training.
