Digging Bones Gene Erb

In their small home in northwest Nebraska, they faced unspeakable horrors-things that nobody ever wants to remember, but they'll never, ever forget.

Now Luke and Rachel are finally free. They've left that terrible cabin behind and placed the broken remains of their mother in a teepee with some local Indians. Their next stop: the desolate Dakota badlands, where they'll join a crew of fossil hunters in a sprawling search for bones.

But as they embark on their journey, Rachel and Luke have some unexpected company. Shadow, a stealthy Sioux brave, follows closely behind them-desperate for the right opportunity to kill one of the siblings, and make a run for it with the other.

Set in the late 1870s among the fields, trails, and rails of the Western frontier, Digging Bones tells the captivating tale of Luke and Rachel, their mother Elizabeth, and the Native American Shadow, through their own voices and viewpoints.

The result is an action-adventure story filled with character and heart, for readers everywhere who appreciate Western history-or simply love a story well told.
