Secret of the Bluebonnet by Rick Williams

A suspenseful, never before seen "origin story" for the Texas Bluebonnet flower. A legendary love story, that could actually be proven as true because of the small secret hidden within every blossom. It's actually based on a oral story passed down to and through, many generations of a Texas family who are only now sharing the story with the world. Written in a contemporary format, the story follows young Long Feather as she finds herself being pledged to marry the cruel One Green Eye, a man she has grown up hating. To complicate matters, she's developed feelings for a forbidden young brave named Blue Stone, who she's seen and talked to, but has never actually met. All Long Feather needs for a shot at a happy future is to formulate a plan to make everyone believe she's agreed to marry One Green Eye. She will then have time to prepare to run away with Blue Stone, at the very moment they finally meet. Of course, her plan also needs to make her parents and One Green Eye believe she's died without a trace, so no one finds out she's lied, defied village law and shamed herself and her family. If she succeeds, she has a chance to be happy and her family is spared bearing her shame. If she fails... she brings shame on herself and her family and is destined to become the property of the cruelest man she knows. No pressure.
