Synopsis

Marin Sinclair is an end-of-life doula grappling with recent death and memories of heartbreak and loss...memories she is reluctant to confront until a mysterious invitation to a ten-year school reunion with a plea for help from a long-ago friend convinces her to return to Dinetah, the Navajo Nation. There she becomes entangled in a web of deception and finds her life in danger from unknown assailants.

Navajo Nation Police Sergeant Justin Blue Eyes shares a connection with Marin from the past, and he has questions of his own when Marin returns only to suddenly disappear--such as why federal agent Cullen MacPherson is investigating abandoned uranium mines on the reservation and how Marin could possibly be involved.

As Marin begins to realize her past is more connected to her present than she formerly believed, she is forced to go off the grid, escaping into the Lukachukai mountains to confront the ghosts of her past and decide who she can trust.

Set against the backdrop of the stark yet beautiful Arizona landscape, Marin's story is a powerful exploration of what it means to belong, to fight for found family, and to find strength in the face of adversity. As Marin struggles with her transformative journey, readers are invited to reflect on their own connections to identity, culture, and the lingering impacts of the past, making "Rabbit Moon" a resonant tale for anyone seeking understanding in a world filled with complexity and contradiction.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Drawing from her years living in the Four Corners area of the Navajo Nation, Jan D. Payne writes using themes of courage, regret, hope, and restoration in a world of kinships within differing cultures. Through her characters' lives, she explores cultural backgrounds and how friendships forged in crisis have the power to shape our lives.

Jan Payne lived on the Dineh (Navajo) reservation on the New Mexico side of the Lukachukai mountain range, where she climbed the mesas, took horseback camping trips, explored ghost towns, and worked with her father training horses. Her most memorable summer jobs include working with pack-mule trains at a Colorado dude ranch and a brief stint as a camp cook in a mining camp. She attributes an early interest in writing to a wealth of family stories, including that of a great-great-aunt taken captive by Comanche/Kiowa raiders in 1870s Texas.

Jan is a member of Western Writers of America and Women Writing the West, and she and her husband live in the Leech Lake area of northern Minnesota with their three big dogs--Kaibab, Rudi, and Orrin.
