I am working on a young adult series that is about fifteen-year-old Chenoa Fawn Gray Owl's spiritual journey. Chenoa and her four-year-old brother River live in Whiteriver, Arizona on the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation. I have finished books One, Two, and Three. I am working on book Four. I have planned on this being a nine book series, but that is subject to change.

What do you do when you meet prejudice at its worst? Do you stand up against it or do you knuckle under the strain? For 16-year-old Chenoa Gray Owl standing up to Samuel Ream would be an experience she wouldn't forget. Chenoa's spiritual growth depended on her decision to stand up and fight; a decision that didn't come easily.
