Book Excerpt:
"As the daughter of a Scottish trapper and a Native woman, Kanu Abey’s life is shared between two worlds. She is always in demand as a translator and as a trader of goods to the white people. When she finds an unconscious white man in the forest and brings him back to her tribe, the careful balance of her life is shattered… Kanu never expected her heart to be captured by this stranger, but she can't ignore the fact that there is something special about him. With his presence causing increasing tension, will she dare to stand up to her own tribe for a chance at love?
John Maclean’s love of adventure and riding horses has led him to the northwest, working on a wagon train. Yet his biggest adventure is about to start when he wakes up in a teepee with a Native woman caring for him and no memory of anything before this moment. His first glimpse of Kanu takes his breath away and in time he is enthralled by her kind spirit and unfaltering strength.

Review:
"Following An Untamed Heart" by Aurora Hanson
My Opinion:
"Following an Untamed Heart" featuring Kanu Abey was the daughter of a Native American Indian woman and a Scottish trapper and finding an unconscious man, due to head injury, John Maclean. He was white, and Kanu brings him back to her Perce tribe [lover of horses] from the forest. While with this tribe and healing, what will happen as a relationship develops between Kanu and John? Be ready for an action, adventure, romance, thrilling, suspenseful, and captivating story of fighting rogue Indians. The army forces Indian tribes onto reservations, along with some horrible white men causing chaos. While reading this story, one will see how the story had some exciting parts...' good, bad, and ugly' that will keep one turning the pages.
The secondary characters, especially how one mother from New York, brought in an intriguing part of the story that showed just who she was and how well she fitted in this story. The extended epilogue added to the story showed 'happiness and good fortune,' giving the reader a good and inspiring ending.
