Hi, all. Reason to Believe by Kathleen Eagle has just been submitted to step 1. It got a 99.6 rank spelling. Chapter headings and page breaks have been protected. Headers have been stripped. Watch out for slang, and the Lakota words that may trip up the spellchecker. Here's the synopsis: Young lovers from starkly different lives and worlds, Clara and Ben Pipestone came together in passion and in tenderness. But their marriage could not endure deception-or the betrayals of a tormented, searching soul. And now, though time and pain have torn them apart, they reunite for the sake of their troubled teenaged daughter- embarking upon a rugged winter journey across sacred land in symbolic remembrance of Ben's Lakota ancestors...and to reclaim something beautiful but lost-and as eternal as the stars.

Who can lead, but one who has traveled the way? --ancient French proverb
