Freedom's Child: A Novel

"Drunk barkeep Freedom Oliver isn’t who she says she is, and when her long-buried criminal past reaches its tentacles toward the Oregon town where she’s landed, Freedom has to choose between her own anonymity in witness protection and the safety of the two children she gave up for adoption as part of her plea bargain. There’s a lot going on in this novel by first-timer Jax Miller, and if you’re after a perfectly plotted gem, look elsewhere — but if you’re looking for something original, compelling and voice-y, you’re in for a treat."
