Shagoon

Ana was meant to die in the Alaskan forest, a naked newborn left with moss in her mouth to keep her quiet while her mother lay screaming and fighting to keep Ana's brother. The babies were born with a deadly condition; they were twins. Because of greed, Ana is secretly sold and raised in a Spanish California mission where she longs for someone like a mother. When she bonds with a native Ohlone healer who saves her life, the mission sends her back to her homeland, not knowing the dangers that wait for her there. Shocked by everything, she sails with Captain George Vancouver on Discovery and finds love in Hawaii where they winter. Now she must decide if she will perform her duty and possibly find her family or stay in Hawaii. This 18th century, multi-cultural historical novel begins with Ana's young Tlingit mother whose fierce love for her warrior husband and son launches a change for future generations. https: //VictoriaVentrisShea.com
