In the Arizona Territory in 1868, thirteen-year-old Charlotte, after escaping from a stagecoach being attacked by Indians, finds shelter and is befriended by an elderly Pima Indian woman who helps her gain a new sense of herself and her abilities to survive in a new land.

Still trapped in ancient times, fifteen-year-old Walker reluctantly accepts the responsibility of leading a group of Indians on a difficult and dangerous journey across the high desert country of northern Arizona to a new home on the Hopi mesas.

A fifteen-year-old Hopi boy and his freckled companion travel back 800 years to the world of the Sinagua culture, a group of people beset by drought and illness and in need of a leader.
