This is a beautiful love story with a delightful ending. Simply written, easy-flowing plot, lovely historical-period characters...a fast & fun read. Charming!
I am a long time Diana Palmer fan, this is the first Historical Romance of hers that I have read..... it's a sweet story set in the turn of the century, the ususal handsome hero and smart heroine.

Raven Following is a Sioux who abandons his Indian life after being saved by Tess Meredith and her father, Dr. Meredith. He morphed into Matt Davis, a detective in Chicago. He has never dealt with his feelings of being a lesser-person because he is an Indian.
Dr. Meredith dies, after dedicating his life to serving the Indians of Montana, and his daughter, Tess, goes to Chicago to be near Matt Davis and to find a job as a nurse. She got her training from her father and the years she spent with the Indians.
Tess is also a suffragette, working to get the vote for women and a more equitable position in society for women. In Chicago, she meets other women of a like mind and becomes more active in the movement.
I thought this book had subplots all over the place: a murder mystery, the suffragette movement, men considering their wives to be their property and subject to the men's whims, Raven/Matt coping with inferior feelings about his heritage, etc. And yet, all of these problems seemed to be resolved by page 311. Bosh. I really didn't buy Matt resolving his feelings in the few pages remaining of the story. 3.5 stars

Another great Diana Palmer book A fiery story of a woman with big dreams and a an who has nothing left to believe in ... except her. This is a hard book to put down once you start reading it.
A very good book. I liked the old west setting and the Victorian attitude at that time. Two people that grew up together and one that is so in love with out the other knowing . I cant wait to finish reading it and share it on here.
This book is a hard cover. Same size as a paperback.
