Produktbeschreibung

Nebraska: not just a place on a map. It has a heart and it has a voice. It has a Then. It has a Now. Several centuries ago, a young Sioux woman called Lark rebels against her people's traditions and crosses the plains to save her adopted sister from a bad marriage proposal and return the girl to the Pawnee village from which she was abducted in childhood. At the end of her journey Lark finds herself the center of a mysterious Pawnee ritual that undermines her plan as well as her confidence. In this century, Janet Hinderson runs a small town newspaper and crusades against a proposed meatpacking plant that will destroy the fabric of the town along with its landmark stand of cottonwoods. But Janet's hard and soft sides must grapple when the meat company's general counsel comes to town and reveals some cryptic interest in her. These are not two stories. They are connected, told and wound into one-each exploring social issues and themes that are vital and timeless.

Autorenporträt

Chuck Redman was born and raised in central Nebraska, and the place still gives him chills even though its most scenic backdrops are less dramatic than the goosebumps on his arm. But life lured him beyond the borders of Nebraska. Following undergraduate study at the University of Michigan and law school at New York University, he practiced criminal and immigration law in Los Angeles for forty years. His short fiction and humor have appeared in various publications.
