Description
Can their marriage survive the ultimate betrayal? Young and passionately in love, Clara and Ben Pipestone came from vastly different worlds. She was a college student, studying the indigenous people of the Great Plains. He fixed cars in the winter and followed the amateur Indian rodeo circuit all summer. Ignoring those who doomed their relationship to failure, they married, settled into their life in Bismarck, North Dakota, and had a beautiful daughter, Anna. But now, thirteen years later, show more Ben's alcoholism blurs his judgment and lands him in the arms of another woman. The betrayal has torn their marriage apart, and their daughter is paying the price. Shoplifting, drinking, and running with a bad crowd, Anna is out of control. Determined to save their troubled teenage daughter, Clara and Ben take Anna and join a two week trek on horseback across an unforgiving winter terrain, a journey across sacred land in remembrance of Ben's Lakota ancestors. Can their journey bring them a better understanding of the past and each other? Can it heal their broken trust and unite them as a family?. show less

I don't remember this one but I generally really like the author's other books. I read this one about 20 years ago and kept. Now I'm ready to part with it and I don't want to re-read it.
Selten habe ich so mit einem Paar gelitten. Hier geht es nicht um ein künstlich erstelltes Problem, das sich einer grossen Liebe entgegenstellt. Diese Menschen und ihre Sorgen sind nur zu echt.
