Vanessa Tyler


Calla is too dark to be white, and too light to be accepted
by her mother's Cherokee kin. Dreaming of finding a place where people won't
see the color of her skin first, she travels from the East Coast, where she has
grown up, to Whidbey Island to become a nanny for a wealthy family. But when
she arrives, things are not as they should be. She finds settlers steeped in
hate, bitterness, and prejudice.
Mystery swirls around Aaron Dutch, a striking, six-foot-three Native American. When the townspeople are still reliving the past, why do they accept Aaron's presence in their community-and seem to respect him? With the tolerance shown to him, why does it seem he won't give Calla a chance?
Calla senses sadness and tragedy in the story behind the
scenes...something she understands all too well. Will she find the love and
acceptance she's always hoped for or be forced to leave the island?
