In 1862, thirty-eight Dakota-Sioux men were hanged in the largest mass execution in US history. This is the story of two young women—one settler, one Dakota-Sioux—connected by the fate of the thirty-ninth man.
As war overtakes the frontier, Emma’s family farmstead is attacked by
Dakota-Sioux warriors; on that same prairie, Oenikika desperately tries
to hold on to her calling as a healer and follow the orders of her
father, Chief Little Crow. When the war is over and revenge-fueled war
trials begin, each young woman is faced with an impossible choice. In a
swiftly changing world, both Emma and Oenikika must look deep within and
fight for the truth of their convictions—even as horror and injustice
unfolds all around them.
Inspired by the true story of the thirty-eight Dakota-Sioux men hanged
in Minnesota in 1862—the largest mass execution in US history—Dovetails in Tall Grass is a powerful tale of two young women connected by the fate of one man.

Samantha Specks is a clinical social worker who has worked on a child/adolescent psychiatric unit, as a Dialectical Behavioral group therapist with adults and adolescents, and as an outpatient psychotherapist. She currently lives in Texas, but her heart and mind resided in Minnesota, her home state, while working on Dovetails in Tall Grass, which is her debut novel. Her happy place is reading a good book or watching a terrible TV show with a cup of tea and her leggings covered in dog hair. Sticking with the theme of strong young women, Samantha and her husband welcomed a baby girl to their family while she was writing this novel. She lives in Houston, TX.
