She Survives

In "She Survives," the first installment of the four-book series "Laura's Dash," readers are introduced to Laura, a half-Cherokee woman born in Indian Territory in 1903, who struggles against the abusive teachings of her father. Despite being deemed shameful for her heritage and labeled as possibly "crazy" for her intuitive gifts, Laura's journey unfolds as she learns to embrace her identity and find strength to create a better life for herself and her children. Inspired by the author's maternal grandmother, this series celebrates the resilience of women from a bygone era who often felt anything but special.
