Killdeer Dance

Olivia, a shy loner, has just taken a job in a remote Michigan town as a fire spotter high atop a 100’ tower. When she hears a fox being tortured by two local football players, she attempts to save the animal only to become the victim of a traumatic physical assault. Vulnerable and more guarded than ever, she begins her solitary life caring for the vixen’s two kits with only the help of a new friend, Tina, a local cashier bored with small-town life.    When six, freshly-graduated high school girls arrive from the city on a camping trip, Olivia and Tina are invited to join them canoeing down the majestic Au Sable River. What starts as a highly anticipated adventure turns into a life-threatening ordeal, forcing them all to confront their actions. Just what is bravery? Who will risk their life to save another? What is Olivia’s secret? And what is the real definition of friendship? Sometimes it takes a river and one good friend to discover who you really are.  Approximately 270 pages.
