Find Her

Description

Five years, three months, and twelve days.
That’s how long Wren’s mother has been missing.

She’s one of over five hundred Native Americans missing in Oklahoma alone. Sometimes it seems like Wren and her grandmother are the only people still looking. Even more frustrating, Wren’s overprotective father won’t talk about it.

Wren refuses to give up, though. And an opportunity to find lost pets seems like a real way to hone her detective skills. But everything changes when one of the missing pets is found hurt. Like on purpose hurt. 

With help from an unlikely friend, Wren vows to unmask the abuser. If she can do this, maybe she can do the same for her mother’s case. She’ll just have to keep it secret from her father who will certainly put an end to all her sleuthing if he finds out. 

Find Her explores the crisis of missing Indigenous women from the perspective of a sensitive young Cherokee girl who yearns to find her mother, while also navigating a town mystery, a new friendship, and a family in need of healing.Ginger Reno has always been a writer—it just took a while for her to figure that out. (Her first clue should’ve been her family always calling her “the wordy one”). An enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation, her desire to learn about Cherokee history and culture has naturally spilled over into her writing. FIND HER, her debut, is part of that journey. Ginger lives in northeast Oklahoma, within the Cherokee Nation, and spends a lot of lakefront porch time with her two favorite people—her husband and their German shepherd.US
