| Summary of Snakes in Paha Sapa Tale Of A Lakota Nation |
S T O L E N from the Lakota people: the glorious beauty of the Black Hills located in South
Dakota and Wyoming, also known as Paha Sapa, that radiated for miles receiving their name
due to the closely woven foliage that forms their unique rich color of blackish-green. Paha
Sapa was the center of their universe where all creatures were created from. The loss of
Paha Sapa to the Lakota people was the turning point in their heritage and their spiritual
culture.
After being confined to a reservation and following a lifetime of preventing the Whites from
stealing resources from his sacred land, a 40 year old once-feared Lakota warrior begins
recruiting allies for a legal journey to reclaim Paha Sapa for his people. In his quest during
the 1880s, he experiences new things for the first time being thrust into a White man's way
of life as if seeing it through the eyes of a child. He enlists the help of a Lakota tribe member
educated by the White man and a fiercely independent White woman rancher who restores
his faith that he is not alone in his fight for his land, freedom and spirit. She finds a new
mission in life - to bring awareness to the theft of Paha Sapa. This independent woman
discovers love for the first time in an aging Lakota warrior - beginning a love story that
becomes legendary. He fights next to her when her treacherous neighbor tries to steal her
ranch, legacy, and her very life. Lakota customs and legends unfold as this courageous
warrior tells his story and about the wrongdoings that they have faced. The heroine's
ranchhands are misfits who aren't accepted anywhere other than working for a woman in
their era, which adds even more character to their lives. This strong woman brings together
nationalities from many heritages: White, Black, Mexican, Lakota and Cherokee to live and
work under the same umbrella of unity. The tribe member educated by the Whites devotedly
dedicates his life for the legal crusade that the Lakota face in the regaining of their sacred
Paha Sapa.
Snakes in Paha Sapa leads the reader through endless adventure, a multitude of action,
sprinkled with historic elements, and a bit of humor. The author brings intrigue to the many
startling events that happen along the way which keeps the story emotionally-charged,
interesting, educational, romantic and entertaining from the courageous people living at the
Paradise Valley Ranch.

After a horrific airplane accident, Jordan Walsh reminisces her life for her newly discovered
sister who lies unconscious in a hospital from the same crash. Jordan reveals that after
years of misguided attempts to win love and affection from her deceitful and
unapproachable parents, she learns independence and boundlessness at an early age to
become one of the most successful women in her field. She brings herself out of poverty,
and into the wealthy and glamourous celebrity world. Even with Jordan's many adversities
along the way, she incorporates humor into her life through practical jokes which brings
laughter into her tragic surroundings - jokes that were originally orchestrated in order to
nullify the pain endured from childhood neglect. Jordan meets the love of her life, sparking
the headline: Sultry Redheaded Actress to Wed Playboy Daredevil Racer, and setting off
the first startling turn of events.
In part II, Jordan's tale embodies murder, deception, blackmail, kidnapping and betrayal
with more than one paramount twist. She learns that her professional success will never be
more important than family as she once believed. Protecting her family by whatever means
necessary, even killing those who threaten their safety, has become her goal. Was it murder
or justifiable homicide - ruthlessness or survival? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
when someone close to Jordan wants to destroy all traces of her existence. Jordan is
determined to secure a safe sanctuary for the children, even if it means facing danger which
prompts family to rally around her. Who will become the casualty of retribution? Will Jordan
find her heart's desire? Who will defy death from the horrific airplane crash?
