Adoptee Clara moves from the east coast to Red Mesa, New Mexico, and begins a teaching year at the
American Indian Academy. Shortly after the start of a new semester, headmaster Joseph Speckled Rock is
found dead on Clara’s classroom floor. Both teacher and students are shocked.
Clara deals with her students’ grief and her own frustration by daily running in the rough hills
surrounding the academy. Carnell Dorame, a talented student and Clara’s favorite, uses the Internet to
trace the identity of her birthmother. The school’s computer teacher Henry DiMarco invites Clara out for
a date and they end up becoming lovers. Henry, however, is not what he seems. His real business is
smuggling pottery, an enterprise that is tied in with the death of Speckled Rock.
When Clara begins to suspect Henry’s dual nature, he decides that she is in the way and breaks up
with her. She runs to a remote arroyo and underground cave studying petroglyphs that might lead to her
birthmother’s identity. But it seems she is not alone...
Will adoptee Clara Jordan be able learn about her family tree or will she die trying?...
All the Wrong Places is also available as an e-book for Amazon Kindle.
