I was completely won over by this book featuring Ella Clah, a Navajo Rez policewoman. She carefully tries to balance her life between her job, her young daughter Dawn, and her traditionalist mother Rose. Ella and her fellow Rez police officers are being run ragged due to a shortage of staff, lack of equipment, and a series of vandalism, bombings and murder. If that weren't enough, tensions are high due to the upcoming vote by the tribal council concerning allowing gambling on the Rez. Unemployment is high and the jobs are desperately needed. The modernists want the casino, but traditionalists like Rose think there are better ways to help their community. Ella's has to find out who is responsible for the chaos and put a stop to it. The FBI is called in, and Ella is also getting help from an unknown email source, calling himself Coyote. I enjoyed learning about Navajo customs while following Ella on her quest to bring order to the Rez. I look forward to reading more in this series. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In the Navajo tradition, Changing Woman represents life springing up from nothing. She is the ultimate hope of the world. She is Woman, who embodies all the mysteries of life. Changing Woman Change surrounds Navajo Police Special Investigator Ella Clah. The father of her child seems ready to be more of a father, though it will alter the rhythm of all their lives and may hurt his political career. Ella’s mother, Rose, has rediscovered her passion for politics and struggles to guide her people on the best way to walk in beauty. The Dineh seem to be ready to bring casino gambling to the Rez, despite the risk that the character of the Navajo Nation will be forever altered. Speaking eloquently against the proposal, Rose becomes a national celebrity. Ella has no time to think about how these changes will affect her and her two-year-old daughter. The Navajo Police Force is combating an increasingly violent wave of vandalism, always two steps behind despite their best efforts. Events come to a head with the terrorist takeover of a coal mine and power plant on the Reservation. Ella must keep the terrorists from blowing up the power plant—but how can she focus on being a cop when her daughter is missing? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
