Quiet Adelyn’s whole world was once only defined by her husband’s role in it. He had always been her superhero . . . until this happened. Now she must be the hero for her son and herself to survive. Dan, a junior high drama teacher, and Sam, a Ute Mountain Ute, must rise above the idiosyncrasies of their own mothers to prove their merits--or face losing their standings they have worked so hard to achieve. Barely thirteen and trying hard to manage his ADHD, Ridge’s valiant attempts to take care of business often get him into serious trouble. He learns how to define his new feelings of love, and how to define himself. He learns of the binding loyalty of brotherhood; the astounding courage of motherhood; and the ultimate price of patriotism. Set near the ancient ruins of Mesa Verde and Ute country, THE LEOPARD KEYS will split your sides with laughter; break your heart at the loss of a loved one; ruffle your feathers at justice unserved; burst your buttons in triumph; and give you goosebumps watching shadows shifting in the night. For mature readers.
