I believe regret is something everyone has, whether they choose to admit it or not. I believe regret is simply a part of life, like doing your taxes or deciding what to have for dinner on a Wednesday night. I have always had regrets – things I wish I could change, things I wish I would have said or done differently. How about you? Are there things about your past you wish you could change? Have you said or done something you wish you could take back? Do you have regrets about wasted time or energy? Do you have regrets about missed opportunities? Do you have regrets about the relationships you've had? Do you have financial regrets? What about career-related regrets? If you have regrets of any sort, whether it's eating too much chocolate on the weekends or spending five years of your life with the wrong guy, this book is for you. My hope for you is that you'll relate to this book in a deep and transformational way – so much so that it changes the way you perceive your past and the way you live out your future.

Based on an actual historical event but told through fictional diaries, this is the story of May Dodd—a remarkable woman who, in 1875, travels through the American West to marry the chief of the Cheyenne Nation. One Thousand White Women begins with May Dodd’s journey into an unknown world. Having been committed to an insane asylum by her blue-blood family for the crime of loving a man beneath her station, May finds that her only hope for freedom and redemption is to participate in a secret government program whereby women from “civilized” society become the brides of Cheyenne warriors. What follows is a series of breathtaking adventures—May’s brief, passionate romance with the gallant young army captain John Bourke; her marriage to the great chief Little Wolf; and her conflict of being caught between loving two men and living two completely different lives. “Fergus portrays the perceptions and emotions of women...with tremendous insight and sensitivity.”—Booklist “A superb tale of sorrow, suspense, exultation, and triumph.” —Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump
