Copperhead

Growing up on an 18th century North Carolina plantation, the daughter of a British Army officer and Indian fighter, Miriam Foxwell's life was well-ordered, she knew what was expected of her, and what she could expect - until one day when her elder sister Kate told her that their crazy old grandfather had an animal locked in his studio...an animal that walked on two legs, with rich copper skin and deep brown eyes the color of the silt in her garden; an animal that was wounded and dangerous and wore beads and feathers in his long shining hair...An animal named COPPERHEAD. From the moment she met him, nothing would ever be the same...
