Summary

Lieutenant Commander Jonathan Raintree, retired Navy SEAL, is 75% Native American and a card-carrying member of the Choctaw Nation. He returned to Oklahoma to build his home and settle down with the woman of his dreams, but his plans are interrupted when he's falsely imprisoned for murder. A woman buys his house, not knowing that he was the architect and builder. A potential kidnapper lurks in the shadows, and Raintree works to keep her alive upon his release. The better he gets to know her, the more complicated their lives become. He must get back to his roots on the reservation to battle these forces and answer an unavoidable question: could he learn to live again in two cultures, one foot in his Choctaw heritage and one foot in the white man's world?

Author Biography

Pamela Kessler has lived her entire life in Minnesota. She started writing poetry and short stories in high school. After forty years of technical writing and blogging about her life's adventures, with encouragement from readers who constantly insisted she "told a good story," she is finally writing for fun. For thirty years, she lived on a small acreage in suburbia, where she gardened and experimented with a self-sufficient lifestyle and blogged about it. She also loves entertaining and has a reputation for hosting theme parties and garden tea parties. This is her first fictional novel, an introduction to a trilogy that takes place in Oklahoma, home to her dearest friends and a bottomless well of inspiration.
