Her father was the only family she'd ever known. And because she could out-fish, out-hunt, and sometimes out-fight other kids, they called her Tomboy or at best Daddy's Girl.
Meant as put-downs, she considered them compliments.
"That's my girl," her father told an attendant as his daughter stopped and waved before entering the boarding tunnel. "She's going to Alaska to teach school."
At least she was, until the plane crashed.
This is the story of the spirit and courage of a woman who fights her way back from hear death and recreates her life on her own terms. She maybe be "physically challenged" as a result of the crash, but there is nothing crippled about this lady's will.
Changing her name to "Stix" as an in-your-face approach to her handicap, she resumes living with a vengeance.
When her skip-tracing boss is murdered, Stix takes on the bad guys despite being a neophyte in the arena of rogue CIA agents, a hard-bitten FBI agent-in-charge, and a now-you -see-him, now-you-don't accomplice.
