Keeper of the Secrets

All Marine Staff Sergeant Moses Running Deer, (Chief), wanted was to earn a few dollars to help his Grandmother. The job sounded like a piece of cake; a forward lookout on a mountaintop outpost in Laos; working for a civilian company that had the power to get him released from the Marine Corp. The pay was excellent and the contract was for two years. What could go wrong?
Receiving a wound when the Communists overran the station; a village ruler held him for ransom. He became M.I.A, (Missing In Action). Earning the trust of the elder, Chief became their medicine-man, taking May as his Laotian wife. Amy was born; raising her kept Chief sane while waiting for America to pay the ransom that would release him. He learned of others being held like him for the big paycheck that never arrived. Those in American government preferred to wring their hands and cry about MIAs rather than open the Pandora’s Box of drug smuggling, fighting an undeclared war, and generally admitting to massive liability that could run into billions of dollars.
After her father died, Amy was selected for a United Nations scholarship in health care. Unbeknownst to her she carried a secret, one that could cost her life. Keeper of the Secrets tells the tale with action, adventure, intrigue, and romance; all the things that make the reader want to turn the page and wonder, could it be true?
