1874. United States of America, Washington. May Dodd is forcibly incarcerated by her family in an institute specializing in mental deficiencies and psychological disorders.
Her crime: living with a common-law man, against the advice of her father and his powerful family.

Once free again, May begins her story by recording her thoughts and states of mind in a notebook, a powerful record of the stages of her human, intellectual and sensory journey among the Cheyenne nation, proud, brave and, above all, human.
