Falling Girl — R. Allen Chappell

An icy chill foretells a harsh winter for the Navajo people -- and for perpetually down on his luck Harley Ponyboy the situation grows increasingly desperate. What evil is this that dogs his every step? When a lucky lottery ticket comes his way, Harley uses his new resources to search for a lost love -- only to find she has fallen to appalling depths. His stubborn resolve to help puts him on a collision course with her abusive companion…and with his own mortality. Fast paced and unflinching, Chappell's knowledge and respect for the Navajo people shines through as readers welcome back old friends, along with a surprise addition to the Navajo Nation family. Characters as unforgettable as a New Mexico sunset lead readers on yet another journey through the color, mystery and ethereal aura of that land which is the Diné Bikeyah.
