Native American, Emerson Grace Coffee, is the last of her tribe, an “endling.”
She returns to Easterbrook to live in a stone cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It is there, high in her ancestral mountains, that her grandfather Edward Two Eagles homeschooled her and trained her to survive by learning to hear God’s guidance in everything.
When U.S. Marshalls tell Emerson she is being hunted by a mob hitman, she knows she can outwit them in her mountains. But three innocent children, living in an art colony below her ancestral home, become caught in the crosshairs.
Now Emerson must decide if she will risk it all, her mountains, her heritage, and her life, to secure their safety. Will a lone, unarmed endling, come against the most ruthless family of all?

- Make room on your bookshelf, because once you’ve read it, you’ll want to keep The Endling by Deborah Maxey. With a compelling plot, an element of suspense, memorable characters, and lush descriptions, she’s written a page-turner that will draw you into her story. I loved this book! —Michelle Cox, bestselling author of Our Daily Biscuit: Devotions with a Drawl,Just 18 Summers,and the When God Calls the Heart series
- I love this book! And you will too! The Endling kept me glued to every page … I simply had to have more. More of the mysteries of the majestic mountains that gave the last survivor of her Native American tribe – the Endling – courage in the face of raw prejudice and injustice in her personal war against evil. More of the compelling characters that inhabit not only Emerson’s mountain world, but also the underbelly mob world of New York, where our heroine’s daunting quest leads. And more of Emerson herself, my new fave heroine, whose quiet dependency on holy guidance steeped in earth-knowledge gleaned from generations of her Native ancestors makes for the reader – as Emerson’s wise mentor Edward Two Eagles would say – good medicine. My highest recommendation for a beautifully memorable read! ~Debora M. Coty, award-winning author of over 40 inspirational books, including the bestselling Too Blessed to be Stressed series, with over 1.3 million copies sold in multiple languages worldwide. www.DeboraCoty.com
