Increasingly uncommon epistolary novel about Odette, a white woman married to an Apache Chief. The work helpfully provides two glossaries in the rear of Apache and Spanish terms. More compelling than a plot synopsis is a summary of other titles published by Ashley Books listed on the page facing the title page - "The Nake Chef," an aphrodisiac cookbook by Billie Young; "How to Marry Somebody Else's Housebroken Husband" by Rosina Francesca, literally a how-to "to stalk and catch the married executive without being sexy, passionate, interesting or pretty"; and William J. O'Brien's "Sex and Salvation": "A novel about a sex offender who went on to sell salvation."
