Medicine Valley Series (Book 2)
Volume II of two in David Edward Walker’s Medicine Valley Series. From his new office in an old vetrinarian’s clinic, Dr. Ret Barlow consults with Yakama American Indian client, Emily Miyanashatawit, about her younger brother, Franklin. Franklin’s joined the True Native Kings youth gang and doesn’t come home anymore. Older sister Tessa is too preoccupied to help, Auntie Leila’s working all the time, and Auntie Elisi’s getting pretty old. The tragedy that tore the family apart last spring left a gaping hole big enough to fit a 1954 Chevy BelAir automobile through. The real trouble begins when a mysterious driver takes the wheel and aims the car at all of them.

“This is a beautiful, well-written ‘novel’ that is all too real. I enjoyed it immensely on so many levels.“

“This book, like the first in its series (Tessa’s Dance) and this author, make the world a far better place. Walker takes us completely into a fascinating, wonderfully varied, human world. He makes you laugh and fear and gasp in horror and melt with love. He enrages you by exposing you in vivid and important detail to some who suffer the world’s injustice and to some who perpetrate the injustice. He so immerses you in the realm of these people that you dread the moment when the book will end, and you hope he is at this moment writing his third book.”

“Signal Peak is crafted to tell a heartfelt story with gripping intensity. David Walker’s characters are so real, I expect to run into them at the longhouse or coming around an aisle of the grocery store. Forget look-alike stereotypical Indians. These folk are Yakama–no mistaking them, yet their story touches fears and loves that have gripped all of our hearts.”
