She marries Taihinco, a Menominee brave, who teaches her the meaning of unbridled passion. 1908 - Desdemona Diana, nicknamed "Minnie," the fiercely independent daughter of Wilhelmina's older sister, defies family and convention to wed the man of her choice. They journey to Southern California to make a new life, where she founds a dynasty of her own. Also published as an ebook with the title "Indian Paintbrush."
