But, when her mother's mate dies in a hunt, she chooses to accept Bapoto, a foreigner as her mate.

Many people are starting to practice his religion, and Snap and her mate are getting worried. Soon, the males leave for the summer to hunt, but Bapoto stays. He gradually takes control of the leadership roles, and Snap has to make a very important decision, whether to try to fix things and Kura, or leave the clan forever.
I really enjoyed this book. It took me a while to get into it, but it was worth my while reading it. The characters were so real, and scenes so descriptive that I had no trouble making them into a mental movie. The book talked about real life problems, like difference in thoughts about leadership and different religion. Another thing I really enjoyed about this book was that here and there, the author would use an African word. There is a glossary at the back of the book with the words in it. This made the words genuine, like there was actually someone saying them, only many years ago. The characters, scenes, conflicts, and even words in this book were real, and that made the book fantastic.
