Ishi believed he was the only surviving warrior of a Stone Age tribe to have lived into the 20th Century. He was born into the Yahi tribe and survived numerous attacks by frontier Indian fighters, who had only one goal--to kill every Indian to make California safe for settlement. In 1864, R.A. Anderson, Hiram Good, and their pioneer Guards, reportedly killed over two thousand Indians just in Northern California alone. So successful were the Guards that by 1871, there were only twelve Yahi left. Ever fearful, the remaining tiny band hid 500 feet up a sheer canyon wall on a sloping ledge to avoid detection. Only four lived into the 20th Century. Their camp was accidentally discovered in 1908 by power company surveyors led by local cowboys. Ishi, fearing for his life, fired an arrow at one of the cowboys, grazing his head and knocking his hat off. This was the last arrow fired in three hundred years of Indian warfare, ending the American Holocaust The next morning their hidden camp was accidentally found by the survey party. Historically, Ishi's sister, and her male companion, ran off together to escape the intruders. Ishi never saw them again. In 1911 after living alone in the wilderness for three years, Ishi walked out of the brush and into a corral at the Ward slaughter house in Oroville, California. Three butchers, accompanied by four snarling dogs, attacked and held him, not sure of who or what he was. After capture, Ishi became an overnight celebrity, going from the Stone Age to the Industrial Age and became a National celebrity living the rest of his life at the University in Berkeley. Along the way, the strangeness of modern conveniences and technology of the times continually astounded him. In this fictionalized continuation of the story into modern times, Ishi's sister and companion had actually lived to continue the Yahi bloodline, high in the Oregon mountains. The possibility is real given the vast wilderness areas of the Pacific Northwest even today. Author, James Callahan, illuminates a web of circular warfare between the settlers and the Indians, ending with Ishi's celebrity status and his death in 1916. He adds a surprising twist with the Yahi descendants hiding in Central Oregon until discovered by modern-day, camouflaged cameras set out to document the return of stalking timber wolves.

Avery: I'm cursed.Every time I make a big life change, someone kicks the bucket. My goldfish didn't deserve to go belly up so young.Ever since the big life-altering, world-shifting, devastating event-that shall not be named-tore my family apart, I've only been half-living. That's why I struggled with the idea of moving from North Dakota to a farm in Big Timber, Montana to help start a spa for visiting guests. I've been a massage therapist for years and love helping other people, but I'm terrified that someone else will drop dead while I reach for my dreams of starting a spa.If I had known Trapp Farms came complete with its own bearded underwear model, I would have stayed home. Now I'm forced to work for someone who believes shirts are optional. I don't expect to keep my eyeballs to myself, but when his ex-girlfriend shows up, I just might have to.Wyatt: I should have checked to make sure Avery was an ogre with missing teeth before hiring her. Now my family is going to think I have a mail-order bride living in one of the rental cabins, because she's the opposite of a green swamp creature. She's beautiful. And me? I'm back where I started in the small town I grew up in, living with my Granny after running my start-up into the ground.Things have been better.While I'm trying to provide guests a full-frontal farm experience that includes: cow hugging, camping, horseback riding, and farm-to-table dinners-not all at the same time-Avery is here to create a relaxing environment for the guests, nothing more. Try telling that to Granny who's taken it upon herself to make Avery my ninety-day fiancé. But I have bigger issues: new letters from the bank showing up weekly. The pressure to make the farm profitable is on my shoulders, and I've got the summer to do it.

BRYN: I need a vacation. Yes, me, Bryn O'Riley, assistant to the assistant architect who had to sell a kidney (just kidding, Mom) in order to make this solo trip to Florida happen. Nothing will derail my plans-the ones I've carefully typed out and laminated.Number one on the list: survive my first plane ride. How hard could it be to ride thousands of feet in the air, trapped inside a tin can at night?Don't answer that.After breaking it off with my ex-fiancé, I'm not looking to settle down. I don't need a man, a pet, or an InstantPot to make me happy. Just a vacation. For all my careful Googling, I forgot to prepare for a hot, single, surfer guy I met in the security line. His smile alone makes me want to take scissors to my plan.Too bad they didn't let me bring those on the plane.REX: I should be on a flight back home to California, but surprise! I'm not. I've learned that some opportunities only come around once, and also that I'm not a cat person. But that's a different story.After meeting a beautiful woman with a label maker in her purse and a penchant for blood-my blood (it was an accident...I think)-I purchased a new ticket to alligator country.She keeps reminding me that we're strangers, but she's also checking out my biceps. I'm not mad about it. I'm flattered, really. She is the first girl to turn my head in a while.And now I can't look away.We have one flight to figure out if our relationship is cleared for take off or headed for a crash landing.
