The eldest, Wind Flower, on the cusp of womanhood, excels academically, while continually planning their escape.  Time and again she is hunted down and forcibly returned to Rose Academy.  There, she watches her beloved little sister's alarming transformation into a proper Washita girl.  At the same time, Wind Flower finds love, with a young Sioux, renamed Caleb Green, by his captors.
