Her name was Adaline. Her father was white, but her mother was from the Arapaho tribe*. She had two names. One was Adaline. The other one, the one her mother gave her, was falling star. When her mother died, she was sent to live with her cousins, all of which consider her a savage except for Caddie, the slave. One day Lilly (a cousin of Adaline's) goes a bit too far with her meanness. No, not a bit too far. A whole lot too far.
Lilly burned her bag to ashes. In it was all she had left of her mother, a carved dragonfly, an eagle feather, and a doll. To add to that, Her father didn't come back to her like he promised. It was all just too much for Adaline, so she ran away. On the way she meets a dog who slowly becomes a good and loyal friend. Will she ever find her father and finally go home?
This book is a realistic fiction, mixed with a whole lot of adventure. Enjoy!
