A dark night was coming, but Swift Foot was prepared. A winter of discontent had sent him on a vision quest, and he'd returned ready to be chief. Where his father had brought shame upon their family by choosing love over duty, Swift Foot would act more wisely. He would lead his people through the troubles ahead--and, to do so, he would marry for all the right reasons.
Small Bird was the perfect choice, especially as Swift Foot had saved her life years before. Their future had been decided by their past. But for their people to survive the coming darkness, the two would have to win each others hearts. On the sleeping mat or wrapped in furs, on riverbank or dusty plain, passion must somehow blaze to life between the half-breed chieftain and his new wife...and they had to start the fire soon, for dusk had already fallen.
** Perfect 10 ***
WHITE DAWN is a truly amazing story of friendship, love, trust, family and the struggles of life in the wilderness. The characters are likable and well developed leaving nothing to the readers imagination. Emily must learn that love doesn''t mean hurt and abandonment, it can be more so much more. Swift Foot struggles with his love for a white woman and his devotion to his tribe. John is the kind of man every woman would love to have in their lives, he is devoted, listens, is a true friend, and wants nothing more than to make the woman in his life happy after all she is the other half of his heart. This story held me in its grasp as Emily went from a hurt young woman to one that believes in love and happily ever after. The descriptive narrative vividly brought to life the wilderness in all its glory.
Susan Edwards has delivered a well-written, heartwarming story with a strong message about what love is all about. This book kept me burning the midnight oil. I heartily recommend WHITE DAWN for an unforgettable read!

Both John and Swift-Foot are wonderful heroes, each loving Emily in their own way. Emily is also a very strong character and handles all of the obstacles thrown in her path intelligently. The supporting characters are fully realized and several beg to be brought back in subsequent stories. Readers who have been following this series will savor WHITE DAWN and look forward to the next story.
