JC Eagle, a college educated young man, only knows that his mother is a Native American and his father is white. He desperately needs to know his father, or just his father s name! He returns to his troubled home town in the Ozarks in search of his heritage.
As he struggles to find answers to his own problems, he confronts a myriad of community problems too great to treat with his meager resources and too great to ignore. He takes refuge in Mrs. Nash s old boarding house, and she becomes a kindred spirit as he deals with lead contaminated water, a land grab by a large corporation, murder, arson, community indifference, and much more.
Through all this he still searches for his father s identity. Can JC overcome the wilderness of hate, fear, and prejudice in the community and, through the grace of God, lead the way out of bondage. Target information for this title:
