Sally Parker had heard talk of Indian or "Injun" attacks out West, but that was just talk from around town. Right? Wrong.

Sally embarks on an enthralling, and often dangerous journey when she is kidnaped and taken into the Comanche Tribe. However, the journey isn’t easy, between battles with the increasingly, dedicated, hard-nosed, "war chief," Nakotah Quanah, and trying to fit into a strange society which she feels she doesn’t belong.

Just when things begin to look up, what happens when an enraged mistress wants her servant back and will go through all costs to get her back? Will this kick-off the beginning of many battles for the Comanche with the Texan government or can Sally defuse the situation in time?

Either way Sally is going to have make a life-altering decision that will not only affect her, but maybe for the ‘ayashe’ as well.

Okay so sure, every since Lorraine has known Justin she’s always taken his hand without any hesitation. However, what they never had in mind was taking each other’s hand in marriage. Especially when their significant others are waiting at home.

Don't know what to do

What to say

Not sure what to tell you

Confused...

Unsure what to do after drunken “I Do’s” have been said, now sober they are only left to wonder…

Were they just empty meaningless vowels?

Or do intoxicated words hold more truth then their willing to face?

Which way do I 

Take your hand

Or let go…
