(2) 4-6 Kit Carson leaves his eleven-year-old, half-Arapaho daughter Adaline with his cousin's family while he guides a Western expedition, but his kinfolk are ill-prepared to welcome a "half-breed" child. Osborne introduces the incongruities of frontier life within the struggles of one girl trying to find her own worth while living under society's scorn. This strong novel puts memorable faces on the noble, the well intentioned, and the deceived.
