Book Review By Celia Durham
Thunder on the Plains by Rosanne Bittner

Sunny Landers is a rich daddy's girl in the Civil War erra. Trying to follow her father's dream of building a transcontinental railroad that would join the East with the West. She meets a half Cherokee, but raised by whites, Colt Travis who was hired by her father to scout into the Western territories where they were to build the railroad and is smitten with him although she is too young to know about love and relationships. They go their separate ways after the trip.

As time goes on Sunny realizes that she loves Colt but because of their different lives and financial status and the fact that he is half Cherokee she realizes they can't be together. Colt also realizes her love for Sunny but also believes they could never be together.
