Emerald Series

The Karensa Emerald
When eighteen-year old Kara returns with her mother to her grandfather's childhood ranch outside Aspen, Colorado she is full of curiosity about her family's past. However, for Kara's mother the past is a black place she buried in the cemetery above Globe, Arizona nearly thirty years ago.

Emerald Fire Burning Bright
The second book of this generational family saga finds Karensa's children coming of age in the turbulent '60s. In Arizona, two discover truths during a time of political unrest as Native Americans struggle to reclaim their heritage and lands; in Venezuela two grow up as oil interests threaten to overtake traditional native culture and lands.

In Volume II (coming soon) Karensa's children and grandchildren learn about Inuit culture, love, hate and, most importantly, forgiveness.
