Left Turn On a Redlight

by Allison Shaw

Darrel Adair is as rugged as the Smoky Mountains that his tribe, the Cherokee, calls home, but disillusioned after suffering many bitter disappointments. He becomes a drifter, burying his heart under miles of pavement and living like a shadow in the dust of the open road. Lyssa Blackstock is a Lost Bird, an unenrolled mixed-blood drifting between two cultures. In the face of crushing betrayal, she remains gentle and innocent, a woman of rare strength, wisdom, and faith in the basic goodness of others - even while on the run from her abusive ex boyfriend. Their paths cross at a bus station during an encounter with a gang of thugs, and despite his misgivings Darrel decides to protect Lyssa until she is away from danger. Drawn to each other by a calling too strong to resist, they begin a journey of healing and discovery that is at times uncertain and even painful, yet full of promise and joy. Just when it seems that they have found a home in each other, the past catches up with a shocking fury that could destroy everything.
