Kerri MacKay's family was well-educated and successful professionally and socially. She was a respected elementary school teacher in a progressive urban school system. Until the day she stopped traveling the path that someone else set for her.With no clear plan other than to free herself from the confines of a lifestyle she could no longer tolerate, Kerri packed the battered old vehicle that she refused to get rid of and began searching for the place where she could finally feel at home. Stumbling into the struggles of a community on the edge of the wilderness, she discovers strengths she didn't know she possessed and dangers she had not imagined. As she cultivated new friendships, she made a couple of dangerous enemies who had every reason for her to fail in her new job. Her volatile relationship with a U. S. Forest Service game biologist was the thread that tied together both the encouraging achievements and the terrifying failures in her unraveling life. Why was Daniel Greensky, the biologist, so hateful to her sometimes and helpful the next?With her strongest advocate and dearest ally facing the end of her journey at over a century of age, Kerri was determined to overcome social bias and solve the mystery surrounding Kate Hawkins. What she learned would either heal or destroy forever her relationship with her parents and theirs with each other. The Chippewa game biologist became the catalyst that set the events in motion, while a little community found a better way to cope with the pressures of life on a remote reserve.
