Never before has Robin Rafferty had such severe consequences for coming home late from school. She has a run in with a robber on the way back home and comes back the next day, thinking she'll be a valuable witness. Apparently not. Accused as the robber herself, she runs to seek refuge in the neighboring Indian village. But there is someone there who would sooner kill her than let her into the tribe. Will she be accepted into the tribe? And will she find the real robber?
