Blue Sky

A baby girl is found by travelling Cheyenne. A brave and his wife bring Blue Sky up, as if she were their own, and she is happy to be one of the people, even after being told she was born of the white man. While only in her teens she performs a coup which gives her all she had hoped for, full acceptance into the tribe and a forthcoming wedding to the brave she loves. But a jealous rival has other ideas. She arranges Blue Sky’s abduction telling her mother and father that she has run away. Blue Sky is taken by an unscrupulous trader to a white man’s town. She is abused and enslaved but eventually finds help in the sheriff and school teacher. Despite the risks, she comes to the aid of the Indian residents of a nearby reservation and, in so doing, encounters a brave who plots their escape from the town and reservation. Then begins a long, dangerous and fateful journey home.

Lynne R Johnson

Lynne R Johnson was born and has retired in East Kent but, during her working life, she resided in Germany, Republic of Ireland and Scotland, as well as various places in England. She is happily married to Ian. Her career was spent mostly in clerical, office management and accounting roles but, in her twenties, she did six years with the Royal Air Force in Air Traffic Control. She has always been very interested in, and felt enormous respect for, the North American First Nations Peoples and their oneness with nature. Her activities include Pilates, singing (in a choir), line dancing, walking and scrabble but her favourite pastime is looking after her great nephews, Austin and Ethan. This novel has been in her head, and heart, for some years and when she finally put pen to paper the words flowed, almost as if someone where whispering in her ear.
