Synopsis

Adaline's father has left her with his relatives while he guides an expedition over the Rocky Mountains. Unfortunately, he neglected to tell them that his daughter is half Arapaho Indian - to them nothing but a savage, fit only to work as a slave. When her father doesn't come back to claim her, Adaline can stand their cruelty no longer, and she sets off up the Mississippi to find him herself. A gripping story for 9-12 year olds.

After the death of her mother, Adaline is sent to live in St. Louis while her father—the famous scout Kit Carson—explores the West. Yearning for the faraway world of her mother's people and desperate for proof of her father's love, Adaline flees the home of her cruel relatives to forge her own course through the wilderness. When she allows an abandoned dog to join her on the trail, and to enter her heart, everything she ever knew about love and loyalty is put to the test.
