A wonderful continuation of the American Quilts series.

Daniel Tandy's mother died when he was a baby, and his father left him to head out west to pursue his dreams. Raised by his grandparents on an Illinois farm, Daniel longed to know a father's love. When his grandfather dies, Daniel is upset by the many changes that occur. His father's cousin Hattie, the closest thing to a mother Daniel has even know, leaves Illinois with her husband and children to homestead in Oklahoma. So Daniel comes up with a daring plan. He runs away from home and heads for South Dakota, where he knows his father lives. But the year is 1890, and rumors of an Indian uprising are running rampant. At first Daniel fears for his life - until he hears the Indians' side of the story. And what Daniel discovers when he finds his father will change his life forever. This was an exciting and heartwarming continuation of American Quilts, the saga of one American pioneer family over four generations.
