The setting in this story is phenomenal. The way the main
character describes the forest before a large part was cut down gives the
feeling that you are out in nature. I
love the main character Beanie, a Native American woman. She lives in the woods
with her dog, a basset hound named Crusher.
She is not happy that the woods around her is being destroyed. However,
there is a bigger problem. While baby-sitting her daughter’s dog Calamity she
takes the dogs for a walk in the woods. She makes a horrific discovery. One of
the men cutting down the tree’s found chained to a tree and he has an arrow in
his neck. She doesn’t want the local Native Americans being blamed for this.
The sheriff likes to crack jokes that tend to be a little
racial.
