Reservations

"Captures the culture and poverty on reservations still suffering from greed and mismanagement . . . A ripped-from-the-headlines story with a shocking ending." —Kirkus Reviews

Now that journalist Lola Wicks finally decided to settle down and marry small-town sheriff Charlie Laurendeau, she's long overdue to meet her in-laws. But shortly after arriving at the Arizona Navajo reservation where they live, an eco-terrorist attack leaves a tribal elder dead, escalating the controversy surrounding the new coal mine on the reservation. Lola's reporter instincts kick in and soon she's pursuing the story, which doesn't exactly ingratiate her with Charlie's parents. But as the violence escalates, Lola begins to wonder if her husband's family is somehow involved—a suspicion that could cost her not only her marriage—but her life.
