No woman in all of our history has captured the imagination like the young Shoshone girl Sacagawea, who served as in interpreter and often as a guide for Lewis and Clark on their famous expedition into our uncharted West. She exists in the journals and narratives of that legendary search as a shadow, valued for her knowledge of the languages, the country, and the customs of her people, but always as a shadow and a stranger. In this novel, Sacagawea comes to life and gives us an exciting new perspective on this heroine of an American saga. Her story begins on an early evening in late summer when she was captured by the Minnetarees and taken away from her family and everything she knew. From that moment on, her life changes dramatically. Her fate leads her to Lewis and Clark, but especially to Captain Clark, a man she begins to love - a dangerous emotion on the perilous journey to the Pacific Ocean.

When young Sacagawea first lays eyes on the white men coming up the river, she cannot imagine the impact they will have on her life ― and she on theirs. For the men coming up the river are about to make history, and she is going to help them. Sacagawea joined the Lewis and Clark team as an interpreter and guide. Her knowledge of the language, land, and people of the unchartered West made her an integral part of their success. In a brilliant novel, the award-winning author Scott O’Dell brings her story to life, giving us a breathtaking account of this young heroine’s role in an American saga. “This is as intriguing a re-creation as Sacagawea herself.”― Publishers Weekly
