Title: Stix
Description: 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 all 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 near death and recreates her life on her own terms.  She may 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.
