Based on actual historical events, and told through fictional diary entries, this is the sequel to the award-winning novel One Thousand White Women - and an epic, unforgettable read all its own.
Her name is Margaret. She is one among the so-called One Thousand White Women who participated in the Brides for Indians program in 1873. Margaret and her fellow brides were pawns in a peace plan between the United States and the Cheyenne Nation. Given to Cheyenne warriors in exchange for three hundred horses, these brides were mostly fallen women - rejected by their families, deemed unfit for society - for whom marriage to an "uncivilized" man seemed their only hope. But many of them fell in love with their Cheyenne spouses and bore their children, only to experience a whole new kind of prejudice, horror, and loss.
The Vengeance of Mothers explores the bonds among family and community, the search for identity and belonging, during a time of tumultuous change in our nation's history. What is a "native" American? Are all men - and their wives - created equal? How far will Margaret and her countrywomen go to fight for what's theirs . . . and what's already gone?
