To help those in need was the highest virtue to the Arapaho soul ... and Black Sun honored the ways of his people. He could never turn away from a woman in need, pregnant, alone, and barely alive. No not even if the woman was white. Though it broke tribal taboos and resurrected his nightmares, he would help Charity Bennet bring her child into the world here in Thunder Canyon, the sacred site where, legend told, springtime was born. Still, her grit and courage alongwith her love for her infant daughter, showed Black Sun that here was a worthy woman--yet one forever out of his reach.
