American Destiny

"Diane Parmelee is the belle of Boston and an officer's daughter in every way--resourceful, bold, and single-minded in pursuing what she wants. And ever since she was a young girl, Diane has wanted Lije Stuart. Meeting him again after five years, Diane is exhilarated to realize that Lije's desire mirrors her own. But the bliss they find together is short-lived. War is looming and Lije--handsome, Harvard-educated and fiercely proud of his Cherokee ancestry--faces and impossible choice."--Page 4 of cover.
