Only 12 years of age and with a heavy heart, Red Hawk goes
out into the world on a quest to bring honor to his
grandfather and his Clan. He was not his Clan's first
choice as their defender, but is the choice by default
because the first two qualified boys failed. Red Hawk has
until his 30th birthday to free his people from the mist
the Thunderer enslaved them in upon the death of his four
children centuries earlier. Red Hawk must show kindness and
mercy to an enemy, offer help to a foe and gather the four
golden images that are holding the spirits of the
Thunderer's children and return them to the Clan. It is
only then that the curse will be lifted.
Effie Rutledge was only eight years old, on an excavation
with her parents, when she first encountered the young
Indian boy whom she's never forgotten. It's now 17 years
later and Effie, a woman who's always loved adventure, has
taken over the archaeological dig her father never
finished. She's holding the two beautiful pieces of gold-
marked quartz her father uncovered years before. She's
searching for the two remaining stones that legend says
will complete the set. She must uncover evidence that the
Lost Clan is real, find the missing artifacts and return
them to the Clan. It's the right thing to do.
Arriving in the Montana territory with her team, Effie
needs to find a guide, a man who knows the territory, a man
who can lead them into the mountains and who might protect
them if they encounter danger. It's with open hearts, never
forgetting each other from their youth, that Effie and Red
Hawk come together. They soon realize that they're on the
same mission; the same quest. Effie also realizes that
she's in grave danger. There's someone untrustworthy and
unethical who wants her treasures for selfish reasons;
someone who will stop at nothing, even murder, to get them.
Red Hawk and Effie have enemies to fight and demons, too
ugly to be a part of the natural world, to battle. It's a
mission they'll accomplish together, as one heart. With
love and tenderness and peace, they are rewarded with the
honor they have so justly earned.
So many mysteries of the American Indian are revealed in
this remarkable story. The beauty of the wilderness, the
appreciation for the air we breathe, the simplicity of the
singing of a sparrow, the compassion and tenderness of the
Indian's heart are all woven together in the fibers of this
beautiful tapestry. RED HAWK'S WOMAN is a tenderly told
tale of adventure, honor and forgiveness. It's also a story
of love, survival and peace. This heartfelt story is the
latest gift from Karen Kay, who never disappoints
her readers. It's a treasure not to be missed.
When he was a boy, Red Hawk spent a single afternoon with a
beautiful, nymph-like girl. Now, years later, in the quest
to free his people, he has tracked her down-and she could
very well hold the key to break a centuries-old curse.
