Thanks to Books To Go Now, Soyala (Time of Winter) In My Soul is now available at Amazon.com. It is a lovely novella, full of adventure, heartache, and romance. Follow Beth, a/k/a Chista, on her journey through trials of the heart, as she embraces her destiny.
Summary:
She called him Tender Spirit, because he was kind to her, for she knew not
his true name. In fact, Beth named them all, the entire band of young Indian men
who took her from her home.
As she watched them, she found their
characters and mannerisms interesting, and it occupied her mind giving each of
them names. This kept her from dwelling on the worst and helped her keep her
mind off the pain--the pain of the wound she received when the bullet from one
of their guns tore through the tender flesh of her thigh.
Beth wondered
what had happened to her brother, Tom, back at their cabin, their home where
they had taken care of each other since the death of their parents over a year
ago. Why had he not tried to stop them was her question, as she struggled to
keep her fear, and the agony she was in hidden away.
Where she was being
taken and why, would soon be revealed. The man she called Tender Spirit, whom
she came to know by his true name, Kiyiya, had taken her hoping she could bring
happiness to his mother, Helaku. With Kiyiya's sister having been lost to death,
he wanted Beth to help lessen that loss, or at least this is what Beth was led
to believe.
