this is the beginning of another lovely series from Ms Mason
i cant wait to get ''Wind Rider''
It talks about a lovely white girl who was abducted from a raid after her parents were killed but she was taken along side her brother but her little sister was left behind........
so its just her and brother but of course as the seires goes they'd probably find each other and reunite again
She gets to have a white man for a slave who is the hero of the novel as you might have guessed but its a lovely novel and i love all Mason's book so pick it up and read if you're a fan of indian novels, this wont disappoint u i promise..........

First book in the 'Trails West Trilogy'...
21 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
This was the first book in the Trails West trilogy including, WIND RIDER, & SIERRA. Its the romantic tale of a woman named Tears Like Rain by the Cheyenne who is white and was found along with her white brother Wind Rider, wandering aimlessly around the wreckage of their dead parents wagons after a brutal Crow Indian attack.
Tears Like Rain never thinks of returning to the white world of her birth until a calvary officer with blonde hair and stunning blue eyes is captured and tortured in her camp. She is somehow captivated by his beauty and kindness shining in his eyes. She must help him. She takes him as her slave and wonders what she will do with him now!
Zach Mercer never dreamed he would be taken prisoner by a wild group of Indians within his first few months of being out west! On his first ride out to the praires investigating attacks on settlers no less! Was this to be his fate? To die in the savage hands of blood thristy Cheyenne warriors? Then he would gladly die with pride and not be a coward. Just as he resigns himself to die, a beautiful maiden with long dark hair and strange gray eyes watches him from a distance with intrest. Was she white? What in the world was she doing in this camp of savages?
Zach is furthermore in awe when it seems as if the beautiful maiden has made for his release, but finds himself her slave instead! A slave of a woman!? Soon Zach shows Tears Like Rain that he is slave to no one, not even a gorgeous woman who pretends she is Cheyenne. His curiosity also discovers she IS white and so is her powerful brother Wind Rider! When more questions arise about how she ended up in the camp, Zach finds himself falling in love with the strange woman and vows to take her away.
In a time when the settlers are demanding more and more land from the government, the once proud Cheyenne and Sioux are having to face starvation and death if they don't comply. Tears Like Rain realizes she is a woman named Abby Larson from times gone by, but she refuses to leave her people to save herself from certain death by fighting alongside the Cheyenne and Sioux against the American government, but she has no choice.
Abby soon finds herself in a strange world of faces she doesn't recognize and people who are the same skin color but sneer at her as if she were some animal. She longs for her own People once again, but her love for Zach blossoms out of control and she must choose. What of her brother? What of her missing little sister Sierra? Sierra was never found when the wagons were attacked, was she dead? Abby is determined to solve all her problems, but she doesn't have time. Time is running out for the Cheyenne.
This story is jampacked with action and history of the Sand Creek Massacre and the downfall of the Cheyenne. As always Connie Mason delivers a solid story of courage and love that surpases all colors and boundries. The love between Abby and Zach is touching and sometimes heartbreaking. This is a sure keeper and a great start to the trilogy, followed by her brother's story WIND RIDER and their missing sister's story SIERRA.

A wonderful story!
26 April 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Connie Mason is a fantastic romance author! If you are looking to read a good romance, purchase "Tears Like Rain." I loved this story as well as the two other books that belong in this series. The characters are amazing and you just fall in love with them all! It was well written and you can visualize everything perfectly! Connie is a great author, and a great person who really appreciates her fans. Send her a snail mail letter after you read her books. She deserves every positive compliment! Buy this book and others by Connie Mason!
