Publisher Description
Lakota Sioux rancher Dillon Black is slowly working his way back from losing everything he ever cared about. Ultimately, it was the horses that saved him. In his heart, he truly believes in the connection between the wild, majestic breed and the soul of the Lakota people.
Now he has a dream—the Mystic Warriors Horse Camp—a place where youth can connect with the Lakota ways. He has the land, the horses, and the history. All he needs is the money.
That’s where television producer Ella Champion comes in. She works on a reality show where community projects get a makeover. Dillon’s ranch could be her next show . . . and he could be exactly the man she needs off-screen.
Dillon’s ex-wife, Monica, thinks he could use some common sense, but deep down, she feels Dillon’s project might heal their shattered family. Especially because she’s about to reveal a secret that will change everything. Dillon and their teenage children will need all the help they can get . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dillon Black "Bear," a middle-aged Lakota, submits his ranch to a reality TV makeover in Eagle's hard to swallow latest (following Ride a Painted Pony). Monica Wilson-Black, Dillon's ex-wife and Martha Stewart style host of It Only Looks Expensive, convinces part-Sioux TV producer Ella Champion that Dillon and his run-down South Dakota Wolf Trail Ranch would make a great makeover project for Ella's hot series, Who's Our Neighbor? Dillon has his own stake: his Mystic Warriors Horse Camp needs an extreme-ish rehab for a summer program that brings horses into the lives of local at-risk Native American youth. Guest decorator Monica (who's battling cancer), their aspiring veterinarian daughter Emily and teen son D.J. converge on the ranch. It gives Dillon opportunity to reconnect with his family and forge a new love connection with Ella. Although Eagle excels in portraying everyday Native America, the merger of Hollywood with Lakota mystique doesn't quite come off.
