As a child, a stable family life eludes Wenona. She is shuffled from her Dakota Sioux grandparents windswept farm in South Dakota to her great aunts ranch on the Navajo desert. Her unstable father drops into her life at rare moments, leaving as quickly as he arrives.

Unfortunately, she finds herself in an ill-fated marriage and soon after, her father unleashes a devastating blow.

Painted against the colorful backdrop of Dakota and Navajo culture, Wenonas journey carries her from prejudice to self-acceptance, forgiveness and the eventual realization that true family is found in the hidden depths of the heart.
