Daughter of the Forest

Ancient Pacific Northwest Native Americans struggle to survive and trust love. 
The tribes that call this raw land home are ruled by mist and rain, towering trees. and salmon-choked rivers. By vastly different traditions and beliefs.

The Tillamook and Nisqually, two tribes tied to each other by distrust and hatred, share the same rich, wild territory. Madsaw, war chief of the Tillamook, kidnaps Twana, step-daughter of the Nisqually shaman. Though their people are enemies and to love a slave violates tribal law, Madsaw finds comfort and desire in his brave captive's arms. Unknown to her, Madsaw hides his grief and anger over the murder of his first wife.

Twana's burden is even heavier because, although she doesn't want to be like this, her spirit touches all forest creatures including the powerful grizzly who stalks the Tillamook. Everyone who knows of her power fears her. She's a loner, an outcast.
Still, united by a love stronger than fear, Twana and Madsaw are determined to find peace and happiness no matter the peril.

Can that be? Can they reach beyond the differences that define and rule their people?
