Oklahoma's Gold is a fast-paced mystery that leads its characters on a challenging journey into the past only to discover its mysterious connection to the present. Set in the rustic, southwestern town of Chickasha, Oklahoma, this novel tells a tale of murder and romance with heart-warming, southern character and a bit of cultural, Native American flare. Heroine, Jess Clinton, is a strongly spirited, young woman, whose recent tragedy has left her vulnerable, but also guarded. Coming to this small, southern town, hoping to make a new start, Jess soon discovers Chickasha is not the calm scene she expected. Her Uncle Fred has been brutally beaten, the Indian ranchers have experienced repeated vandalism on their land, and a modern-day medicine man is warning how evil spirits have come to Chickasha to avenge a wrongdoing from the past, as well as one from the present. To complicate matters even more, Daniel, the handsome, Cherokee ranch foreman, presents a personal challenge to Jess as she struggles with her growing feelings for the attractive stranger and her reluctance to begin a relationship. Despite all these challenges, Jess, along with the good people of Chickasha, must work quickly to find answers before their peaceful, little community is destroyed.
