Sinossi

"Dominie Dean" is a masterful exploration of the complexities of human character and relationships, set against the backdrop of a small-town American community. Butler employs a keen wit infused with a satirical lens, crafting a narrative that oscillates between comedy and poignant reflection. The novel dissects societal norms and challenges the intricacies of faith, duty, and the quest for personal fulfillment in a rapidly changing world. Through vibrant descriptions and engaging dialogue, Butler captures the essence of early 20th-century American life, while delving into the moral dilemmas faced by his characters. Ellis Parker Butler, a contemporary of Mark Twain and a prolific figure in American literature, drew inspiration from his own experiences in small towns and as a writer. His keen observations of human nature and societal idiosyncrasies informed his work, allowing him to inject humor into serious themes. The narrative voices in "Dominie Dean" reflect Butler's own eclectic literary interests, demonstrating his ability to weave the profound with the absurd, a signature quality of his storytelling. Readers looking for a thoughtful yet humorous examination of human relational dynamics will find "Dominie Dean" both enlightening and entertaining. It is a compelling read that encourages contemplation on the intersections of duty and desire, making it a timeless addition to the American literary canon.

His plans fall to pieces when he comes face to face with the bold and lovely Braeh, who by some ironic twist of fate, is not only Kerrigan's sister, but his true mate.It's been six years since her sister moved to the lower 48, leaving Braeh to deal with small town Alaskan politics.

But in the end, will the sacrifice each of them has to make to be whole, be worth it?

    She's never lost a hostage. Surely she can manage to take care of her sister. 
     
    FBI special agent Julianna Jameson is a top-notch negotiator, but when her much younger sister, Dottie, needs a place to live while she finishes high school, Julianna's skills will be put to the test. 
     
    Former sniper Clay Fox left the army after a tragic incident that he can't get past. Until he can figure out what to do with the rest of his life, he's working as a resource officer at a school. Dottie's school.  
     
    When Julianna is called in to negotiate a courtroom hostage situation involving Clay's sister, he's impressed--and, if he's honest, a bit intimidated--by the calm, capable woman with the dark hair and blue eyes, and invites her to speak at the school.  
     
    But as the anniversary of a school shooting from Julianna's past approaches, it becomes clear that her perfect record is about to be tested and that Dottie is at risk. If Julianna and Clay can't figure out who's behind the attacks, more innocent people will die--and Dottie is next in line. 
     
    "Expertly plotted and relentlessly paced. This high-octane thriller keeps up the momentum through the final page."--Publishers Weekly
