"Hlampko Hosh Tahli"-Chahta for Finish Strong-has been a life force phrase that has been handed down along with a mysterious bullet for four generations of the Callaway family, dating all the way back to pre-statehood Oklahoma/Indian Territory. Deacon Callaway was more than ready to complete the fifth-generation cycle of sharing the story behind the phrase and passing the bullet on the chain to his eighteen year-old son, Bryar during their scheduled float trip. Life is but a mist- Following sudden, unexpected news, Deacon lowers his barriers during their trip. However before he can fully explain, they are viciously attacked. Deacon must answer the rallying cry of finish strong, drawing from God's strength, his military training, Chahta heritage, and Bryar's bravery to defeat the enemy that has attacked them.

At a time when the world, Europe especially, is once more threatened by murderous conflicts between groups of people claiming ethnic and national identity as a basis for sovereignty over specific territories, it is timely to consider the part that literature has played and is playing in the creation of ethnic and national stereotypes. What role do such stereotypes have in literature? How are they created? From what materials are they constructed? What purpose do ethnic and national stereotypes serve? Can it ever be a useful one? Are they avoidable? Can we live without them? What can be done about the deleterious effects they may be thought to produce? Stereotyping is worldwide — is there a...

Horowitz is at his best when displaying his canny understanding of the media world, advising how to fit your business's message with the media's need to produce timely, relevant stories.
