Adopted at thirteen, Dell Jordan was loved, mentored, and encouraged to pursue her passion for music. Now, at twenty, after a year abroad with a traveling symphony, a scholarship to Julliard is within reach. But underneath Dell's smoothly polished surface lurk mysteries from the past. Why did her mother abandon her? Who was her father? Are there faces somewhere that look like hers-blood relatives she's never met?
Determined to find answers, Dell sets off on a secret journey into Oklahoma's Kiamichi Mountains, drawn by the only remaining link to her origins- a father's Native American name on her birth certificate. In the voices of her Choctaw ancestors, she'll discover the keys to a future unlike anything she could have imagined.

Lisa Wingate writes both Accent novels and contemporary romances for NAL. She lives with her husband and two sons in the central Texas hill country, where she is a popular inspirational speaker, writing instructor, and magazine columnist.
Dell Jordan has spent the last two years after graduating from high school in Europe. Her adopted family has hopes of her going to Juilliard to study music, but Dell has reached an impasse. She needs to understand her past before she can envision her future. At 13, after living a life of poverty, she was adopted by Karen and James. She is raised with love in Kansas City, yet feels isolated, always thinking of herself as the odd one out with her Native American features. So she sets out to the Kiamichi Mountains of Oklahoma, where she was born, looking for her Choctaw roots. Arriving, by chance, during a festival, Dell finds what she was looking for—people who look like her celebrating their rich cultural heritage, making her proud of who she is and the people she comes from. Wingate gives her readers a tender and compassionate conclusion to her Tending Roses stories, tying together the spiritual threads that connect all her characters and leaving the reader filled with hope.
