Sara Elaine Violet

A coming of age tale as old as the wild west.

Taken from her father and her people, a young Sioux girl tries to adapt to life among the people of her mother, the 'white eyes'. Bitter, resentful, untrusting, Kimimela finds herself alone in a world where there seems to be no place for her, a half breed child of a warrior and a white woman. As she grows, is there a choice? When the opportunity arises, and she comes of age, will she return to the land of her father's people, or stay with the new life she's tried to build among the whites?

"I been trailin' in Toby's shadow ever since we was boys," Al continued "an' whilst I was mean tempered, Tobe...he was mean spirited. I ain't never saw a man like him afore, smilin' to a fella's face while readyin' to shoot him in the back, an' never losin' a nights' sleep over it...A man like that, he don't deserve folks good opinion. I stayed with 'im 'cause I figured I owed him my life, I reckon I got sore at you, bein' that you was all smart an' tough when we was youngin's, then fallin' over yourself when he started charmin' you. Even a half breed outta know better'n that, battin' your eyes at the first man to take notice of you.
