BENEATH AN IRON SKY

BENEATH AN IRON SKY

In 1880 Eleven year old Philadelphia (Del) Stratton meets fifteen year old Crow Eagle, a rebellious Lakota boy, at the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania where her father is an instructor. Wrenched from his people on the reservation and brought to Carlisle to be Americanized, the reluctant but deep bond the belligerent boy forms with the idealistic young girl is severed when he returns to his people. <br /> <br />Ten years later, they are reunited when Del's fight for women's suffrage takes her to Dakota Territory on the verge of statehood. There, Crow Eagle, now a strong warrior, is waging a battle to retain his people's way of life and keep their hope alive through the Ghost Dance. And the friendship that began years earlier blossoms into a forbidden love that will not be denied.
