His young lawyer faces the wrath of a settlement determined to see the Indian hang. And Rebecca must decide for herself what-and who-is right. At stake is a life. From the award-winning author of Trouble Don't Last comes a fast-paced drama told in the alternating voices of Indian John and Rebecca Carver. Crooked River offers a probing look at prejudice, early American justice, and the true meaning of courage.
