Finalist in the 19th Annual Midwest Book Competition and in the 21st Annual Northeastern Book Awards! The year is 1864. In the aftermath of the Sioux Conflict of 1862, many families in the Minnesota River Valley are now separated. In Hawk's Quest: a Superior pursuit, brothers Hawk and Jake Owen lead a search to find a missing child and reunite her with her family. Along the way, they become involved with state and federal authorities investigating a series of murders. This turns the brothers and their companions north toward the settlement of Grand Marais and the North Shore of Lake Superior. This adventure, which winds its way from St. Cloud to Fort Ripley to CrowWing to Mille Lacs Lake to the small towns of Twin Lakes, Oneota, and early Duluth, reunites old friends--Hawk, Jake, Sunkist, Posey, Sophie, and Lorraine--and calls on a few new friends and foes: Abernathy Wayne, intellectual and geologist; Reverend Diggs, town preacher; Neena, doctor of Eastern medicine; and Kathleen, a fiery Irish tavern owner.
