Prairie Flower

Rating:
Summary: Pat Muchmore is a great writer with historical backgrounds
Review: I liked "Prairie Flower" by Pat Muchmore. It takes place during the Cherokee Outlet Run on September 16, 1893. Amy Elizabeth White and her father Alfred White are among the thousands that are making The Run for the Oklahoma Territory to start fresh and new in a newly born city, New Ponca. Colby Grant is among the many Runners. Colby and Amy meet at the beginning of the race and immediately their personalities clash. But as time wears on, they find that they are a lot alike. Amy has always known she was adopted with a French heritage. But when she finds out that she's of Indian blood, the prim and proper women in town ostricize her. So she goes in search of her heritage, seeking out her Indian grandparents and finds her way to Colby and her adoptive father. The electricity and sparks that fly between them when they are together butting heads is something the reader can feel coming from the pages. Pat Muchmore has delved into a lot of history for this story concerning The Run for the Cherokee Outlet and New Ponca (later renamed Ponca City), her late husband was the co-publisher and editor of The Ponca City News.
