Black Hills Native Son — Debra Salonen

--- originally published as --- Finding Their Son


His journey of discovery brings more than he ever hoped -- a son, and the woman he was meant to love.

Eli Robideaux's vision quest takes him down a road he never wanted to walk -- to the past. His mistakes -- even the ones he made for the right reasons -- have come back to haunt him. He doesn't understand why, but stumbling across Char Jones feels like grabbing on to a lifeline that might keep him from falling into the bone-deep despair that had been his father's ruin.

No one is more surprised than Char when the unrequited love of her life walks into her Black Hills store, looking for the missing pieces of himself. She holds the key to one of those pieces -- the son Eli never knew they had, the baby she put up for adoption. But is she brave enough to let go of her guilt and lead them on a journey that could hold love and hope…or almost certain heartbreak?
