Dani is surprised when she learns of her estranged father’s death, and that he has left everything to her. He was an art forger who had gotten caught and spent years in jail. Are the things he left her real, or just more of his forgeries?
Dani has spent years wondering what it was that kept her dad away. Why did he reject her? Was he disappointed in her? Dani learns that her father was well thought of, and loved by many people. But that makes her feel worse since he never had anything to do with her.
Her father’s friend, Marty, takes her under his wing. He is a strong Christian whose motorcycle ministry goes on Wild Goose Chases. It comes from a reference to the Holy Spirit as a Wild Goose. They do not decide where to go, instead, they pray for the Holy Spirit to lead them, and almost every time they end up with someone they were meant to meet. Marty wants Dani to go on one.
This is a dual-timeline book, with the second tale that of Broken Bow. He is one of the Plains Indians in 1875 that were forced to move to Florida. It is a hard life of constantly having to prove oneself innocent. If something goes wrong, often the first thought is, “the Indians did it.” It is also difficult to fit into the white man’s ways and world. The true events woven into the tale really make it engaging.
Dani’s and Broken Bow’s stories fit together really well, and make a tale you will have trouble putting down. This five-star book features some characters who are Christian, and others who are not which makes for some gripping situations. I recommend this story to those who like romances and mysteries–with the bonus of real historical events worked in!
