The Cry of the Whippoorwill carries readers to America during its westward expansion to follow the trials and tribulations of military scout Lance Winsor as he braves the treacherous wild to map out and stake claim to uncharted American land.
Confronted by obstacles with every move he makes, and joined by two other scouts he meets along the way, Lance must dodge arrows, bullets, and other forms of attack while carrying out the duties of his post. But when he unexpectedly falls in love, his heart is drawn into the battle and more than land is put on the line.
After rescuing a young Apache girl from marrying the brutal Indian chief who kidnapped her, Lance finds himself unable to shake his feelings for the honey-skinned beauty-and he's not the only one. The chief, White Cloud, will stop at nothing to get her back, and he's determined to settle the score with the man who shamed him and stole his bride's heart.
The Cry of the Whippoorwill is an instant classic that delivers a strong story infused with sentimentality, spirit, and wisdom.
