Winter Moon — Kathy Love Cowen

Murder and deception flourish during the season of the Winter Moon

It was a cold morning and she was still alive. Golden Meadow prayed for the mercy of death but knew her punishment would be the severe guilt she would have to live with for the rest of her life. To escape Tahnie, her father, and the reverend, running away was her only option. And Meadow was good at it. On the other side of the Indian Territory, Chief Gray Storm's men joined forces with the warriors from the Blue Clan and followed the last wagon leaving the plantation. Tracking the wagon for three days, the young warriors reached the muddy banks of the Mississippi River where they found a foe deadlier than the savages they hunted for. With alligators snapping at their heels, the warriors boarded the riverboat. The last link in the slave ring. What was found in the belly of the Buckeye, would prove to be of greater value to all of them, if he lived.
