Two Spirit

An orphaned white girl. A plot of deception. Can Rose play the role of a two spirit successfully or prove herself a fool?

Deception would not have been Rose's first choice; however, she will leave behind the white man's ignorance and play the part of a two-spirit to stay with the Nez Perce guide Five Wounds. Outside of her father, he was the only man to accept her for who she was, and she desires to be a part of his world.

Five Wounds heard the women gossip about Rose Baker's wish to live a life traditionally reserved for men and watched as men snubbed her. Despite the fact that as a two spirit he would have to curb his growing attraction to her, Five Wounds informs Rose the Nez Perce people would honor her.

Rose's plot is working, and the Nez Perce tribe accepts her for whom she is pretending to be. Everything would be perfect if she was not now in love with Five Wounds.

As head of the family, Five Wounds needed to marry and fill his teepee with children. His family believes one of Rose's spirits is a demon trying to possess him. Five Wounds is certain it already has.

Will the deception that had been her salvation now destroy her happiness forever?
