This is another truly beautiful story form Kathryn Imbriani.
Well worth reading. After reading Alberta Skies and Finnegan's Gold I just had to get the other three books. I love the way that people from the other stories pop in so you feel that you really know a little more about the ones you have already come to love.Im not sure if there was an order to read them in but I read them in this order and they really seamed to flow well with the characters from other stories falling into the right timeline Alberta Skies,
Finnegan's Gold,Whiskey Runner,Grass Dance and Willows Way.
In this one your heart really goes out to Dancing Bird and her family.
