Kaycee's Song Diane Hauf

An old diary, a wagon train ride, a stalker, and a hero riding a spotted horse. Set against the background of the Big Horn Mountains, two spirited women find courage and love in a demanding land. The events in their lives and future are irrevocably intertwined by fate, legend, and closure of a 120-year circle of injustice. In 1888, young Elise is sent in disgrace from New York to her uncle's ranch in Wyoming. Her crime -  auditioning for a flute position in the Symphony - disguised as a young man. She revels in the life of the newly tamed territory - full of danger, death, and the love of an Englishman. KayCee, her great-granddaughter, recreates her ancestor's footsteps on a wagon train ride over the Bozeman Trail. Surprisingly, she finds more than adventure. The Train's Boss and Trail Doctor, a Crow Indian, vie for KayCee's attention despite the fact she has no desire for romance. And from the beginning, she's stalked, harassed and eventually abducted by an unknown assailant. Rich in history and humor, KayCee's Song is the haunting love stories of two women whose passions strengthen their understanding of the world in which they have chosen to live.
