About this audiobook
Captured by the Kiowa war chief Satanta, Adrianne Chastain must learn to adapt to a new culture and locate her missing grandchild while fighting her growing feelings for the tribe that adopted her.
This prequel to Haseloff's Kiowa Verdict, winner of the 1997 Western Writers of America's Spur Award, fleshes out the story of beautiful widow Adrianne Chastain and her abductor, Kiowa war chief Satanta.
A thirty-something rancher, Chastain, both a mother and a grandmother, sees her daughter and one of her granddaughters killed in an Indian raid. She, her young son, and two other granddaughters are captured. Her son is subsequently killed by Satanta, and one of the granddaughters is taken away by a band of Comanches, the Kiowa's allies.
Written with great sensitivity and strength, Haseloff's story deals with Chastain's life among the Kiowas; her feelings for her abductor and his feelings for her; and Satanta's eventual capture, imprisonment, and death. It is a fascinating tale well told. Budd Arthur — This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Satanta’s Woman by Cynthia Haseloff is the story of a frontier woman who is kidnapped by the Kiowa Indians along with her two young granddaughters. One of the children stays with her and is adopted into the family of Satanta, only to go missing in the confusion of the Sand Creek Massacre.. The other child, a baby disappears into the Indian Nation.As her life with the Kiowa goes on, she comes to understand their ways and sympathize with them. She and Satanta, the warrior that kidnapped her come to love one another. Eventually she is found by white soldiers and returned to the white world where she is reunited with her granddaughter. Satanta is taken and put on trail where her testimony saves him from being hung. He is however, imprisoned for the rest of his life.A sad, yet touching story of the last days of the truly “wild” Indian, and, more personally a doomed yet enduring love. Written in a straight-forward, simple yet heart-felt manner, I was both enthralled and moved by this book.
