"Great storytelling- A keeper"
After being court-martialed and receiving a bad conduct
discharge from the navy for striking a superior officer,
Kai returns to her grandmother's home on the Qualloah
Eastern Cherokee Nation in North Carolina to lick her
wounds. She is bitter that the navy didn't believe she
was defending herself from a sexual assault. Her
grandmother has her go on a vision quest and she dreams
she must find one of the secret totems that were stolen
from the tribe. The dream shows her she must go to the
Australian Outback to meet with an aborigine shaman. Her grandmother convinces her that she was chosen to
return one of the totems and she must go to Australia
because her dreams are a method of communication between
shamans. Morgan Trayhern's organization Perseus agrees to
fund her mission provided she partners with her childhood
friend Jake Carter. Although she is turned off by men,
she has no choice but to agree to the condition. The two
fly to the outback where they find adventure, danger and
the possibility of a lasting love. Lindsay McKenna is a brilliant author who writes romances
that are action packed and character driven. In DAUGHTER
OF DESTINY the audience will empathize with the heroine
who had a physically abusive father and grew up determined
to be strong so that no man would hurt her again. The
hero, who has loved her since he was a child, tries to
prove to her that not all men are predators and he is
deserving of her trust and love. If this book is any
indication, the Bombshell line is going to be a smashing
success. Harriet Klausner
