So what does it mean to be a Cherokee?"" asks Cherokee author Robert J. Conley at the start of this delightful collection of his writings. Throughout his prolific career, Conley used his art to explore Cherokee identity and experience. With his passing in 2014, Native American literature - and American literature in general - lost a major voice. Fortunately, this posthumous publication, edited by the author's wife, Evelyn L. Conley, offers readers the opportunity to appreciate anew the blend of humor, candor, and creativity that makes his work so exceptional. Best known as a novelist, especially for his beloved Real People series, Conley was also a masterful writer of short stories, essays, plays, and speeches. The breadth of his talents is on full display in this wide-ranging collection, which begins with his very last public address, delivered in North Carolina in 2013. Following that speech, the reader is treated to what may be Conley's most famous short story, ""Plastic Indian,"" the hilarious tale of three Cherokee youths who try to take down a giant plastic Indian located along Highway 51 between Tahlequah and Tulsa. Like many of Conley's works, ""Plastic Indian"" is set in contemporary times, but as we discover through the stories that follow, the author drew inspiration from traditional Cherokee folktales and oral storytelling. His delight in the spoken word is evident in the single play featured in this volume, based on the writings of ethnographer James Mooney and originally performed for radio. Conley is also celebrated for his accurate depictions of the Old West (it is no accident that he was the first American Indian president of the distinguished Western Writers of America association), so the collection would not be complete without two of his cowboy stories, namely ""The Execution"" and ""Nate's Revenge."" The volume concludes with four of the author's speeches. Laced with the author's typical dry humor, these personal testimonies serve as a moving coda to the author's extensive and illustrious career.

Utilizing different methodologies and approaches-testimonio, performative writing, and interpretive, rhetorical, and critical methodologies-the contributors provide original research on contexts including healing and pain, woundedness, identity, Chicana and black feminisms, and experiences in academia.

It's obvious that Conley's favorite character in this novel is Stricland. I'm sure it's because he doesn't talk much but acts, since his mind isn't full of jibber jabber from others. That's the only way a person can write. Conley understands Stricland enough to know that he needs that one special person that accepts him and loves him in spite of all his flaws. She can travel the same road and is the partner he and Conley have been looking for all their lives. I think I can safely say that Conley found his. Look at all of his dedications to Grace.

Ross' life has turned into a country song. Through no fault of his own he ends up in witness protection and before he can get to the safe house he gets shot in the ass. It's not funny to him but the person that's supposed to protect him finds it hilarious. She's five foot tall on a good day but has the heart of a lion, a gun that doesn't miss and the courage of a warrior of old. In this action packed thriller Ross and Jena take you on an adventure not soon forgot. Conley's sense of humor may be a little twisted but he puts you dead center in another one of his page turners.

Four regular guys are trying to do the right thing because they have no choice. They're not born heroes. In this action thriller Conley takes you to a special world; the world of in between. Because love can be so strong that death can't take it away and there are times when it stays so close you can feel it; like a hot breath of air or a cool breeze in an elevator. Conley takes you on an adventure that moves ever so slightly beyond, creating a love story in the midst of chaos and produces one of his most memorable characters, Steffan Von De Cruz.

Human traffickers and drug lords have finally done the deed. They made Jena mad. There's no more waiting around and besides it doesn't suit Jena's personality or for that fact Ross', reluctant as he may be. The US Government can't do anything about the problem in Mexico but private citizens don't have the legal constraints especially when drug lords, tunnels, horses and the dead of night are used. In this fast paced action adventure thriller Conley takes you on a mission of justice from days gone by that maybe should rise again. Conley asks; with the confines that a lawful society puts on us can we really protect what is precious in our lives?

In a world of super money, bodyguards, living in luxury doesn't mean you can't be shy and have a heart of gold. Two such people meet in sixth grade and don't say hello until their senior year in high school. Once that hurdle is behind them life becomes real instead of just daydreams. Conley takes you on their action adventure romp from mid America to Guatemala to parts unknown as soon as the baton is handed off to them from Bob Stewart of "The Friday Night Poker Club." His tale weaves you through love, hate, right, wrong and as yet substances not yet on the Periodic Table. Buckle up for a thrilling ride.
