The Broken Statue - Book 2 in The River Women Series available NOW!

WAYNESVILLE, N.C. - Oct. 1, 2021 - PRLog -- Description:
Omaha,1905: During the gilded age, when women live subjugated to men, eighteen-year-old Bridget prides herself on having earned acceptance to medical school. When her father is murdered, a crime that does not interest the law because he was half Native American, she risks her plans to become a doctor, determined to avenge his murder. Bridget's quest thrusts her into a world of seedy men and glitzy women in one of Omaha's most opulent brothels. There, she finds herself the prey rather than the hunter.
If she is to survive, she must keep the reclusive madam's shocking secrets, learn to trust her heart's yearning for the man who befriends her, and embrace her complicated alliance with a community of notorious women considered society's lowest.

Praise for The Broken Statue:
"More than a tale of murder and vengeance, The Broken Statue is one visionary woman's quest for justice that leads her on a harrowing journey to darker truths, and ultimately to love. A wild read." – Debra Magpie Earling, author of Perma Red
"A skillfully written novel, The Broken Statue, is a swift-moving thoroughly enjoyable tale that offers insights into the often-overlooked lives of the women of the frontier. Lukas's characters, many marginalized by race or circumstance, fairly get up and walk off the page into your heart." – Karen Gettert Shoemaker, author, The Meaning of Names, Winner One Book One Nebraska Award.
