Trooper's Run

Dramatic and with a flair for mystical powers, Trooper's Run by new author Cindi (Clarke) Summerlin is a spiritually wrought novel about surviving domestic violence. When Sara Powell realizes that Owen Reston is not the man she married and that she is no longer willing to tolerate his abuse, she gives up everything she ever worked for in order to survive. Scared and on the run, Sara becomes Cidney Keene and makes her way northbound to Alaska, Land of the Midnight Sun. As she begins a new life-and fate begins to smile on her-she will become reacquainted with someone from her past, but her name change will make it difficult for him to recollect the where, when, and how. As the two would-be lovers find a common ground, sparks will fly, though old demons will haunt their tundra paradise. Playing with the legend from the Shoshone Indians, the author examines the doggedness of the wolves and how it is they came to be the protectors of women.
