Song of the Hunter

By Robin E Keene

Emma Estes cannot escape the despair of her husband's death. She shuns hapless therapy, well-meaning friends and her adored beach cottage. With her beloved dog, Jane, she escapes to Cody, Wyoming for the winter. There, life offers little more than she left behind, until a large Shoshone man stops to change her flat tire. His ensuing pursuit of her is haunting and Emma is on the verge of running again. Something indefinable encourages her to stay as she attempts to rebuff the Indian's charismatic draw. She loses her heart only to find her life in danger as she becomes the pawn in a fraudulent horse breeding scheme. Rick Tanoats is a traditional Shoshone, spiritually strong and culturally committed. He is a swarthy, gifted horse breeder. It has been many years since, as a young boy, Rick sat in a sweat lodge with his grandfather experiencing a vision of a white woman and a yellow dog. Now he must navigate the turmoil of conflict before him. His gentle nature begins to disintegrate as chaos looms. Rick learns his self-confidence and fearlessness can unravel when his heart takes over. Rick makes bad choices and danger pursues, threatening what is most important to him. Emma and Rick's journey compels self-examination, exposing pride, arrogance and fear. Within each other they find means to overcome the flaws which disabled them from moving forward. Ultimately, they find in each other an essential and compassionate love. But are they strong enough to overcome the malevolent forces?
