The night of the full moon is approaching and Libby Mitchell cannot wait! Nothing will stop her from visiting her best friend, Fawn, at the nearby Indian camp and attending a special ceremony there. When soldiers rush in and order everyone at the camp to move off the land immediately--they mistake Libby for a member of the tribe! As each day passes, Libby wonders if she will ever see her family again. Based on true accounts of the Potawatomi Indians' forced migration from Michigan territory in 1840, this sequel to Next Spring an Oriole portrays the friendship between two families--one white, one Native American.
