When eleven-year-old Casanita Redner's beloved grandfather is murdered her life takes a drastic downward turn. Her mother's drinking and drugging escalates then she brings home a man who destroys what little peace Cas has found.

But Cas isn't a normal child-victim; she's a fighter.
Bounced from home to the streets to foster homes and back to the streets, Cas refuses to be a placid victim as she struggles to find her place in the world.
When John Downing becomes her caseworker, Cas is drawn to him. He gets her like no one ever has, but is he savior or predator?
In a world where manipulation, lies and violence; drugs and alcohol are rife, Cas loses her way. Can she find the path that will lead back to her grandmother's Tsalagi Teachings? Can she find healing?

Autorenporträt

Born on the wrong side of life,I learned to make myself invisible, to be so quiet that no one noticed me in the shadows. My illiterate grandfather, and nearly illiterate grandmother valued books and education; consequently, they coaxed a Carnegie Librarian to teach me to read and write by age six.
When I was nine years old, my grandfather was murdered; the killer never apprehended. Writing allowed me to deal with my anger and grief by changing the ending of that particular reality: I wrote murder stories.
I published my first poem and my first journalistic articles around the age of fourteen. It was a time of countrywide unrest and riots.
After that, I never stopped writing--poems, articles, short stories, novels.
Good Intentions (first edition), a literary novel, received the Alice B. Reader Award for Excellence in 2002.
Sketch of a Murder and Street Harvest have made Amazon's Top 100 Bestseller's Lists several times.
