Mentored in the ancient arts of medicine and healing at a young age, she travels to Wheeling, Virginia, in search of a new life with her mother and Shaman grandmother. When Margaret finds herself suddenly orphaned, she is thrust into the wilderness and an impending winter storm. Abandoned amid fur trappers, wild animals, and fierce weather, she struggles to survive the treacherous journey along with her two beloved wolves, Hato and Kake. An unexpected betrayal leads Margaret into servitude on a Virginia plantation. Her captivity changes the course of her life forever and sets her on a path of mercy as a medicine woman during the darkest hour of American History--The Civil War. A chance encounter with a Union soldier leaves Margaret torn between two very different worlds and one very forbidden love."

HOW TO AVOID THANKSGIVING CHAOS! THANKSGIVING ANALYST: Kevin D. Miller author of Heart Of Steel. Thanksgiving get togethers can be awkward at best; drunk uncles, political arguments, family gossip and more can turn turkey day into turmoil. But...it could be worse. Way worse. Kevin Miller woke up one morning to learn the Miller family name he'd used all his life was not even his real name! And, in his search for why his whole family had changed their name, he uncovered multiple family secrets including brutal abuse, raging alcoholism, multiple miscarriages, incredible struggles and even a secret family murder! How about trying to explain that around the Thanksgiving feast? What do you do? In Kevin's case, he wrote about it in his new book HEART OF STEEL! Kevin, a U.S. Air Force veteran, accidentally discovered an old yellowed newspaper clipping that revealed his real last name isn't the All-American Miller, but the very Polish Puchalski. Kevin's research unearthed that his grandfather Stanley Puchalski was a man with many secrets, including a grisly murder, and they were all buried with him. The family secrets were so devastating, it compelled Stanley to change their family name and never talk about it!
