Shining Water

Description

Lilly Weathers, a widow and retired Air Force investigative researcher, leashes up her two dogs and begins a new life as an RV volunteer for national wildlife refuges. Her first job lands her in Nevada in the middle of a murder conspiracy that involves military readiness training. When the refuge manager, Lilly’s long-time friend, is accused, she tries to clear his name. The Southern Paiute Indians have a powerful connection to these desert lands. Will Lilly experience the energy of their ancient rock writings firsthand? Or is it her imagination? While Lilly comes to terms with starting a new life alone in this vast landscape, she investigates the canyons near Area 51, befriends an unusual character who has visions of finding a portal to other worlds, and solves a cover-up on the Air Force’s Nevada Test and Training Range. Blocking her way is a rancher who hates the federal government and another who goes to great lengths to woo her.
