Description
Sage Parker dragged himself up from an alcoholic pit and now focuses on rebuilding his ranch on the Lakota Sioux reservation in South Dakota. He’s rebuilding his life and helping others do the same by forming a recovery group that honors the Lakota tradition of seeking the Red Road, walking in a good way. And Sage knows his way around roads. Ranching is his hope for the future, but road construction pays the bills now.
Into his life walks Megan McBride, white and blond and idealistic. She’s an engineer; she’s there to build a much-needed road on the reservation. Sage struggles with his attraction to her just as he battles his addiction—one day at a time.
They’re from different worlds. He’s embracing the tribal heart, defending his people from the forces that threaten to destroy them. There’s no way she’ll stay with a lightning rod like him, once her job is done. And yet she’s the courageous soul mate he’s always wanted—and exactly what he needs
Their slow, simmering, red-hot romance builds to a heart-wrenching question—what happens if he can’t live up to his ideals and her dreams?

Sage and Megan's romance. She is an engineer and he is worker on the crew set on a reservation in South Dakota. I grew up near a reservation in North Dakota, so many of the issues were familiar to me. Good story and romance, would recommend.

This book deals with alcoholism and recovery within the Native American culture. Kathleen Eagle did a good job in portraying the many issues they must deal with in their daily lives. I really liked the characters. and found them very realistic. The story was doing just fine, the graphic sex was a not a welcome addition. I would recommend reworking the sex scenes to be a little less graphic.

I read a lot of Kathleen Eagle’s books in paperback some years ago. Thinking this was a new work, I was excited to see it online. But That Was Yesterday looks to be a reissue from the late 80’s now in e-book form. Still I was not familiar with this story.
No one can write about the struggles of Native American men better than Kathleen Eagle. I find that her stories speak to the head as well as to my heart by developing memorable and sympathetic characters. Often her stories show their flaws and their valiant efforts to rise above they have found themselves to have fallen.
Clearly she has given us one a true hero with Sage Parker. He is recovering alcoholic who now is helping others in their struggle with alcohol abuse. The opening scene clearly shows his integrity, honor, compassion and realistic view on life. No wonder Megan McBride falls for him as they connect at the job site of which she is in charge and where he works. Their relationship builds as they get to know one another. There are ethnic, cultural and family issues explored throughout this romance. Much like real life is today.
Wonderful story. Still as relevant and heartwarming today as it was when it was first written.
