There is a future I do not seek, but which will come to be, just the same... With these words echoing in her heart, Saylah, born of a white father and Indian mother, set off on a journey that would take her through all the mysteries of the human heart.

As a child, she came to know the bounty of the earth sea, the clear streams, and she guaded the secret wisdom of her closeknit Indian people. But when tragedy devasted her loved ones, Saylah was forced to leave her home and enter the world of Ivys, an English born family whose European traditions were as strange to her as her spirit world was to them. The Ivys had come to the lush, fertile Pacific Northwest in pursuit of a dream--to build a paradise of prosperity and freedom. Until saylah came to them, their dream had been denied.

Julian Ivy had a dram of his own. An impatient young man in whom refinement and rage were intertwined, he was drawn to Saylah's healing power and disturbing beauty. Through heartbreak and love, Julian and Saylah would discover the riches of love...but no one could resolve for her the conflicts of her heritage. Heeding the call of her destiny, she would finally make the most wrenching choice of all.
