Novelist Kate Horsley fictionalizes the events that might have taken place after the Lakota medicine man Black Elk was stranded in Europe, having been mistakenly left behind when Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show returned to the States in the late 1800s. In this novel, Black Elk is championed by the free-spirited daughter of a bourgeois family. She engages a cynical older physician, who is a friend of her father's, to help treat Black Elk's mysterious malady. Is she in love with Black Elk? Is he in love with her? Is the physician in love with her? Affairs of the heart—Black Elk's homesickness not the least among them—wend their way throughout this entertaining novel.
