Millie has spent her life cleaning up her sister's messes. Rosemary has always been emotionally manipulative and knows just how to get Millie to do what she wanted. What she wants this time is for Millie to go west and delay Seth from asking for a divorce until after Rosemary has given birth to her lover's baby. She threatens to kill herself and the baby if Millie doesn't do it. As Millie is a much softer, gentler person than Rosemary, it's going to take incredible acting skills to pull it off. It's not really a surprise that Millie just can't do it. I really enjoyed seeing how much Millie liked living at the fort and how easy it was for her to fit in. She had a terrible time remembering to act like her sister which created some interesting situations. I really liked seeing her interact with the Indians and how she came to like them. Her admiration for Seth quickly turned to love, but the guilt of her deception was tearing her up. She was heartbroken when the truth came out and he wouldn't even listen to her explanation. I loved seeing her stand up to her sister and then go after her heart's desire.
I loved the setting of the old west's Ft. Sill and the Indian troubles. I enjoyed seeing Millie learn about army life, both the pleasures and the challenges. I also loved how well the various characters were portrayed, with both good and bad qualities, making them very easy to relate to. ( )
