When Bostonian Lily Cabot Chase’s grandfather promises to pay her expenses through Harvard Medical School in exchange for her spending a year at the Indian Hospital on the Navajo Reservation, she agrees. But when it’s time for her to go, she is reluctant to slow her momentum to
become a surgeon in that rural hospital. 
 
But she won’t renege on her promise. Her East Coast upbringing and education have hardly prepared her for the drastic change in her life among the Navajo. She soon meets a young tribal lawyer, Nicholas Nakai, who is running for the newly drawn Arizona Congressional District.  He is fascinated by the striking, tall redhead and as events bring them together, they find themselves falling in love.
 
But the tribal elders, unhappy with the liaison and wanting Nicholas to find a Navajo wife to take to Washington, insist that Lily Cabot Chase leave the reservation. But she comes back. And the two do get back together, unaware that they are distantly related.

Woven throughout the main story is the historical account of Daago, an Indian girl and Captain Nathaniel Cabot of the United States Army of the West, stationed in Fort Defiance in 1852 in what will become the Navajo Reservation. Their child is the common ancestor of both Lily and Nicholas.
