<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From an award-winning author and Choctaw storyteller comes a tale with the essence of a Native nation's complex history while offering important lessons and renewed hope. <p/><p><b>Who would show up for their own execution?</b> <br><p>It's 1892, Indian Territory. A war is brewing in the Choctaw Nation as two political parties fight out issues of old and new ways. Caught in the middle is eighteen-year-old Ruth Ann, a Choctaw who doesn't want to see her family harmed. <br><p>In a small but booming pre-statehood town, her brother owns a controversial newspaper, the <i>Choctaw Tribune.</i> Ruth Ann wants to help spread the word about critical issues but there is danger for a female reporter on all fronts-socially, politically, even physically. <br><p>But what is truly worth dying for? This quest leads Ruth Ann and her brother Matthew, the stubborn editor of the fledgling <i>Choctaw Tribune, </i> to old Choctaw ways at the farm of a condemned murderer. It also brings them to head on clashes with leading townsmen who want their reports silenced no matter what. <br><p>More killings are ahead. Who will survive to know the truth? Will truth survive? <p/><p>"Among the many pleasures of Sarah Elisabeth's writing are her attention to character, language, and period detail. In <i>The Executions, </i> a story grounded in history and the complexities of pre-statehood Oklahoma, she brings to life, with great heart, the compelling mix of cultures, faith, and political intrigue in the old Choctaw Nation. An intriguing read."-Rilla Askew, author of <i>The Mercy Seat</i> <p/><p>
