Thunder in Yellowstone: A contemporary literary novel - Paperback

by E. B. Lee (Author)

She left the big city searching for simplicity. When cultures clash and what's right becomes hazy, can she find the path to her truth?

Philadelphia. Amber Phillips is craving a change. Tired of only seeing the ugly side of people, the crime reporter hopes moving to Montana as a feature writer for a glossy Yellowstone magazine will help her decompress and move past the tragic loss of both her police officer partner Jake Marshall and his K-9 officer Olive. But her east-coast sensibilities take a hard landing in the modern-day wild west when a local is gored to death by a bison.

Shocked by the yearly purge of the majestic beasts from their Yellowstone National Park home and the possibility the local man's demise was foul play, she draws on her investigative skills and wades into a feud among area ranchers. But while cryptic clues reveal ties between land development, a deadly bacterium, and high-minded conservationists, another heart-stopping loss shocks her into rethinking her principles and purpose.

As Amber faces her own mortality, amidst a larger-than-life Yellowstone landscape, will a dramatic shift in mindset bring a new understanding of life, justice, and the grave?

Thought-provoking and emotionally written, E. B. Lee takes the reader on a journey examining humanity and our tenuous grasp on righteousness influenced by bias and ignorance. The story shatters ingrained mindsets and leads us to question who we are and how far we'll go to preserve our sense of self.

Thunder in Yellowstone is a riveting story of contemporary literary fiction. If you like determined heroines, exploring issues from both sides, and the grandeur of nature, you'll love E. B. Lee's captivating tale.
