She-Who-Is-Alone lived among the Camanche people. Many of them had perished, including her parents, due to drought and famine. The shaman went to the hills to talk to the spirits and asked how to be rid of the drought. He was told that a sacrifice of their most valued possessions must be made. No one would do it, but She-Who-Is-Alone sacrificed the doll that was the only thing left of her father and mother. Afterwards, she woke up to find the drought over and a field with bluebonnets the same color as the feather that her father had put on her doll's head.
