Peace Among Black Hills

Peace Among Black Hills is a story of love, loss, and overcoming treacherous hardship and discrimination during the war with the Plains Indians. One Star and Jacob are both born Lakota half breeds, but in two completely different worlds. Yet somehow the two manage to cross paths, and hearts, as they grow in the deep grassy plains and wooded hills of Castle Creek, South Dakota together; But in order to be together, they will have to overcome miles, and years of separation when One Star is taken to the Carlisle Indian Institute in Pennsylvania.

 

After years at the Institute, One Star and her best friend, Melody, escape the Institute and return to the ranch of her love, Jacob, only to find him gone.  After many more years of awaiting his return, One Star and her friend decide to leave the ranch, giving up on One Star’s hope of finding Jacob. They experience the hardships of the world, and collect a band of other Misfit girls along the way.

After realizing that none of them fit in with what the world deems “Proper” or “Civilized”, the girls make their way to a better life raising cattle in Montana. Along the way they encounter a series of unfortunate mishaps, the worst of which is the accidental death of the Silver City Sheriffs father in New Mexico, which One Star is blamed for.

 

The girls begin a hasty escape north to San Francisco, where they meet up with an equally misfit bunch of boys that agree to help them drive the cattle. Low and behold, one of the young boys is the long lost love, Jacob. But the Silver City Sheriff and his hired bounty hunters are hot on their trail.

The group must trust in each other as they try to reach Montana without being captured by the Sheriff, exploded, killed by accidental cliff jumping or caught up by winter, with 300 head of cattle in tow.

 

Its “Young Guns” meets “Dances with Wolves” with the perfect mix of actual history and make believe, shining both romantic and dark light on the ways of the west.
