my heart is on the ground.” The simple Shawnee phrase rent her heart. The tenderness of thier love story was phenominal, told in a way that I've read in historical fiction. Thier love blossomed from literally fear, turned into attraction then friendship and then eventually love. He knows how to be patient with morrow, and shows her affection when needed. Red Shrit, the Shawnee warrior that becomes Morrow's love interest, in my opinion is the perfect male lead.
This story had so much depth, there were moments when I could almost feelas if my heart was going to beat right out of my chest. Nothing melts my heart more than reading a classic romance. I was completely taken back as I watched their fragile love grow and strengthen over time. My heart broke for them when they were separated and rejoiced when they were reunited. Red shirt and Morrow's love for one another was breathtaking and completely swept me off my feet. The romance in this novel was unbelievable. I loved watching her change and flourish. She didn't pretend that that she could bear more than she could. She was in constant fear and wore it on her sleeve. Too often I read stories where the main character is too hard or too strong and it takes the absolute worst to break them down. Morrow, in my opinion is a very complex and loveable character. I experienced almost every human emotion I can think of while reading this book. A chain of events turns her life upside down and sends her on the greatest journey of her life.
