Shagoon

How can a newborn left in the Alaskan forest to die not only survive but also become an educated person who influences a Hawaiian queen and a Russian leader? More difficult is her challenge to be accepted by her Tlingit family whom she has never known. For that, she will need the help of British Captain Vancouver and her hunting pet, Falcon . . . and to break away from the love of her life.
SHAGOON is a historical fiction adventure that travels from Alaska to California to Hawaii. Young Ana survives the extreme changes in her life and gains strength as she deals with loss, disease, murder and death; and she learns about the spiritual influences of tribal heritage. As indigenouse people of Alaska begin to interact with strength against the "Cloud Face Tribes," she wonders where she belongs. SHAGOON begins in 1764 with Ana's determined young mother whose intense love for her warrior husband launches a family saga that results in the changing of lives for future generations.
