White Falcon Twelve year old Kent Alexander and four year old Cassie Slade are all who remain alive after a massacre of their wagon train. Surviving also is a white hunting falcon. The bird helps them through many trials, thirst and hunger as they search for civilization. The two stumble into a Chiricahua Apache village and are soon adopted by the chief. The Indians are terrified of the falcon believing Kent is a witch because he seemingly controls the hunting ability of the bird. Besides fighting these rumors, nine years later, a new development complicates his life—he realizes he loves Cassie. His love is forbidden because by adoption she is his sister. Kent is sent off to war and told to forget Cassie. Angry and disillusioned, Kent decides to return to the white man’s world and goes back to get Cassie. Soldiers have destroyed the village and taken the woman he loves. Kent sets out on a seven month search to find her. He encounters set-backs, thieves, prostitutes, deceitful freighters,! blood-thirsty miners, and a vile army officer. In the most unlikely circumstances, Kent learns what has happened to Cassie, and determines to rectify the terror she’s lived through.

About the Author
Florence B. Smith began telling stories as a child. She always loved to escape back in history to the 1800's. She has since written more than 50 books and has published many historical novels, articles, and short stories. Married at sixteen, Mrs. Smith was for 56 years with her husband Ike, who was her biggest fan and constructive critic. Grieving for the loss of her life partner, Florence stopped writing for over a year, but her passion for life ultimately brought her back to recounting stories that Ike himself would have loved to read and to have her tell.
