Daughter of the fire keeper

Daunis Fontaine dreams of starting a new life, but a tragedy strikes her family, causing 18-year-old Daunis to postpone her future plans to support her mother. Meeting Jamie, a hockey star, brightens Daunis's life, but it seems like Jamie is hiding something. Everything becomes clear when Daunis witnesses a shocking murder and the FBI involves her in the investigation, requiring her brilliant knowledge of chemistry and traditional medicine of the Ojibwe Indian tribe. The search for truth leads her into a labyrinth of nightmarish secrets and reopens old wounds. The number of victims grows, Daunis's confusion reaches its peak, and she must understand what it means to be strong and how far she will go for the truth, even if it destroys the world she holds dear. The book has won the Printz Award, the Edgar Award (Young Adult), and has been named the best book for young adults by TIME Magazine and Amazon. It is a New York Times bestseller. A film adaptation is in the works.
