Notes & Requirements

Summary: "Oklahoma 1909. Eleven-year-old Olive knows that her stepfather doesn't have good intentions toward the two Choctaw girls boarded in their home as wards. When the older girl disappears, Ollie flees to the woods, taking six-year-old Nessa with her. Together they begin a perilous journey to the notorious territory of outlaws, treasure hunters, and desperate men. Oklahoma 1990. Law Enforcement Ranger Valerie arrives at Horsethief Trail National Park seeking a quiet place to balance a career and single parenthood. But no sooner has Valerie reported for duty than she's faced with local controversy over the park's opening, a teenage gone missing from one of the trails, and the long-hidden burial site of three children deep in a cave.  Val's quest to uncover the truth wins an ally among the Choctaw Tribal Police, but soon collides with old secrets and the tragic history of the land itself.  Lisa Wingate traces the story of children abandoned by the law, and the battle to see justice done."
