"John Tylor figures everything is finally coming his way. He's got what he wants: a free shot into the wilderness where no one will ever know his name or his shame. As he and Will Cunningham head west into the northern Plains, Tylor rescues a wounded hawk, which he had dreams foretelling the event. Tylor and Cunningham run smack into a party of Arapaho who are eager to relieve these solitary white guys of everything they've got, including the hawk....

Based on the true story of a bird of prey's survival after being struck by a poacher's arrow.

One winter morning Jenny discovers a hawk has come to the farm, and she develops a rapport with the graceful sky dancer. The hawk first appeared on a crisp, clear February morning, its high shriek exploding in the air. Jenny stood transfixed as it swooped in front of her, one wing almost touching the ground, the other pointing toward the sky. And so began a remarkable friendship between a young girl and a wild bird. Full color.
