In Blind Fury, Wakara is starting to come to terms with the death of her mother, but she misses her presence every day, especially when it comes to getting maternal wisdom on the topic of boys and dating. Anne, the Native housekeeper, nurtures Wakara's fascination with her own Indian heritage as she disciples the young teen in her walk of faith. When a severe mountain snowstorm blankets Eagle Lodge with its blind fury, Wakara rides Lily into the storm to try and save some lost elk hunters.
Wakara loves riding her horse Lily bareback, cantering across an
open meadow with the warm wind tossing her hair around her face and
shoulders. If only all of life could feel like that. But since her
mom died in a car accident, Wakara worries about her loved ones and
is having a hard time trusting God.
Anne, the native housekeeper, is helping her understand more about
her own Indian heritage-and what it means to be God's girl. Then
there's Colin, her dad's ranch hand. Lately, it seems like he is a
part of the family. But does that mean he has to treat her like a
little sister?
Whether it's riding Lily on a steep mountain trail, encountering a
cougar, or saving her younger brother Ryan from one of his close
calls, Wakara is always in the middle of excitement. This time,
though, things get a little too exciting when her Dad and brother
get lost in a snowstorm. Wakara has to think fast and pray hard to
try to save them--and herself--from its Blind Fury.
