It is 1995 and the small Midwestern town in South Dakota is satisfied to be a conservative and quiet town. Businesses on main street fight to keep their doors open with competing shopping malls in near by cities. Auna Franklin, a feisty widow who is convicted of murdering her husband, is insufferably stubborn and independent, escapes from the two police officers en-route to the state penitentiary. Laura Hunny and Pammy, two dear friends help place the get away vehicle which they've stocked with everything to keep her alive until she reaches safety. Guy Mardly and his family have been contacted and promise to keep her safe until she is cleared. In her desperation to reach the ranch that she hasn't seen in thirty years, she gets confused and hopelessly lost. Johnny and Cilla, realize her true identity as they hide her until help arrives. Hank Sturgeon, the heroin who has a questionable past of his own, becomes involved after making a promise to Guy Mardly, his dearest and oldest friend, to help her prove her innocence. Auna is then hunted by Bodeine, a washed up special agent who is desperately trying to regain the respect of not only the agency, but also that of himself. Rawhide, a crude and tactless bounty hunter follows Bodeine from one case to another and seems to step in just as Bodeine is ready to make the arrest. Chet and Mary, Auna's children, take part in an emotional and horrifying encounter with a suspect as they try to draw out the real killer. Auna has lost her first love, and husband, Joe to a murderer, and gained Hank Sturgeon, who has seen the best of her and the worst of her, and loves her to the very depth of her soul-and his. | Auna's Angels by Twyla Fritz, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
