Description: Once a Warrior is the debut novel by a criminal defense attorney with the ability to share with the reader the emotional journey and skills required to represent someone on a murder charge.  Her descriptive and emotional writing style brings the reader into the courtroom and seats you next to her at the defense table as she fights to save her young Native American client; a fight that requires her to understand not only the man but the culture and spirituality that defines him.  It's a journey requiring not only top-notch professional skills but demands she confront her own fears as her protective capsule is peeled away during the fight of her lifetime.  This unusual trial evokes both laughter and sorrow from the riveting beginning through a series of unexpected twists that ultimately erupts in its surprising ending.
