Reason for reading: grabbed it off the TBR pile (from a bookbox)
Blurb (from back cover): "Ramona blushed as the handsome young Indian Alessandro looked upon her with favor. A great, star-crossed love was born. But the adopted daughter of Senora Moreno was defying the custom of her people. Her forbidden love would drive her from place to place with Alessandro until tragedy would strike and Ramona would at last come to an understanding of herself."
Opinion: I liked the fact that Ramona was a well-developed strong female character. The romance between Ramona and Alessandro took a while to become believable but it did come together. Not many stories deal with Native Americans and the struggles that they have had to deal with. This does and does in a fair way. It doesn't totally dwell on the struggles-only discusses it when it affects the families of Ramona and Alessandro. Overall, an average read.
