Preview: Hear it

Miranda and her mama have always agreed about everything. So when Mama is offered a job with Buffalo Bills Wild West Show painting scenery, she and Miranda certainly agree that it is time to get out of Fort Lincoln, where theyve been doing soldiers laundry for as long as Miranda can remember. But while Miranda blossoms on the roadmeeting Annie Oakley, making friends with an Indian girl, and even participating in the show herselfMama stews in her hatred of the Indians; she blames them all for her husbands death. And when Chief Sitting Bull joins the troupe, Miranda begins to see that there are two sides to every battle, a vision Mama wont share. Gloria Whelan combines expert storytelling and meticulous historical detail to create a provocative tale that shimmers with remarkable insight into the heart of American history.
