Separated by time and culture, two children -- a green-eyed half breed, and a feisty red-haired farm girl -- each survive historic massacres in mid-nineteenth century America. Hardened by personal tragedy and racial hatred, they meet as adults and clash in a 21-year race through manifest destiny, until love softens attitudes, exposes hypocrisy, and tests them in a final battle that will forever change their history, and enlighten ours in...THE CALLING STONE.
