{"product_id":"the-executions-book-one-choctaw-tribune","title":"The Executions: Book One (Choctaw Tribune)","description":"From an award-winning author and Choctaw storyteller comes a tale with the essence of a Native nation’s complex history while offering important lessons and renewed hope.\n\nWho would show up for their own execution?\n\nIt’s 1892, Indian Territory. A war is brewing in the Choctaw Nation as two political parties fight out issues of old and new ways. Caught in the middle is eighteen-year-old Ruth Ann, a Choctaw who doesn’t want to see her family harmed.\n\nIn a small but booming pre-statehood town, her brother owns a controversial newspaper, the Choctaw Tribune. Ruth Ann wants to help spread the word about critical issues but there is danger for a female reporter on all fronts—socially, politically, even physically.\n\nBut what is truly worth dying for? This quest leads Ruth Ann and her brother Matthew, the stubborn editor of the fledgling Choctaw Tribune, to old Choctaw ways at the farm of a condemned murderer. It also brings them to head on clashes with leading townsmen who want their reports silenced no matter what.\n\nMore killings are ahead. Who will survive to know the truth? Will truth survive?\n\n“Among the many pleasures of Sarah Elisabeth’s writing are her attention to character, language, and period detail. In The Executions, a story grounded in history and the complexities of pre-statehood Oklahoma, she brings to life, with great heart, the compelling mix of cultures, faith, and political intrigue in the old Choctaw Nation. An intriguing read.”—Rilla Askew, author of The Mercy Seat\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 099102592X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.099102592X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sawyer, Sarah Elisabeth\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
