About this ebook

Ruth Ann wondered if she and her brother would ever fully trust each other again.

When Ruth Ann Teller learns the shocking truth her brother Matthew brings back from the coal mines in Choctaw Nation, she is devastated beyond words. Determined to piece her family back together, Ruth Ann resolves to find and hire the best lawyer in Indian Territory. But the best lawyer happens to be the Teller family’s opposition: Tecumseh Shoemaker, who is determined to bring justice by pitting the family against one another.

Broken trust with her brother pushes Ruth Ann to an unlikely alliance with the one person who promises to help her—Pepper Barnes. But Pepper harbors his own agenda, one that includes wrangling Ruth Ann into traveling to Washington, D.C. with a political delegation from the Choctaw Nation, serving as a reporter for the Choctaw Tribune.

In D.C., Ruth Ann’s hope turns to full-blood Choctaw lawyer Benjamin Nakishi, a man on the cusp of greatness—and who has his own troubled past and reasons not to return with her to Indian Territory.

With a wounded heart and the future of her family hanging in the balance, Ruth Ann is caught in the swirl of politics, historical injustices, and romance in a bustling city full of its own stories and secrets.

A judgment is coming that will affect the Teller family forever—but will justice truly be served?

This is my voluntary review of a copy I received from the author. We already know Ruth Ann and her immediate family, plus Pepper Barnes. The newer characters are only as filled is as needed except for the Choctaw lawyer Ruth Ann meets in DC. Others talk about him as much as we experience his character through his interactions on the page. Oh, the path Ruth has to navigate! She is pulled in various directions, but in the end does what she knows is right and honorable. We really get to see her mature as she struggles with the decisions she is left alone to make.

A awesome story. I loved it. There are some surprises in this one. It was unbelievable but I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. There was some parts that I just wanted to punch someone (Pepper). There was some parts I just wanted to hug Ruth Ann, ether because I was so proud of her or because she needed a hug so very badly. Then there was some very scary parts. I did not know what would happen. I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
