About the book
60 year old Franklin Blue Cat is dying and desperately needs a marrow transplant. But he has no family...other than the a child he's not even sure exists. He needs the help of Adam Two Eagles, the local medicine man and ex Army Ranger to help him find his missing child. Sonora Jordan, undercover DEA agent and tough biker chick, is laying low. After a drug bust, the Garcia brothers--who Sonora helped put in jail--have put out a contract on her and she's forced to go on vacation. She’s unaware that there is yet another Garcia brother hot on her trail. Strange dreams--visions really--are pulling Sonora east. When Sonora meets Adam, she'll be drawn out of her world and led by both instinct and magic to find the father she never knew she had, and the love she never knew she wanted.
