Abstract

"In the fall of 1868, Luke Reiner, a young American fur trader, decides to leave his trapline on the Nelson River to join his Métis friend, Jean Paul, in a buffalo hunt. Luke is drawn by the adventure of the buffalo, but he is even more interested in Jean Paul's sister, Marie. When Marie dies giving birth to their daughter, Luke leaves the baby with a Métis couple on the Winnipeg River and returns to his home in St. Paul. The story is told almost twenty years later when Luke gathers the courage to search for his lost daughter."--Back cover.
