Fetish by Jamey Gittings

Do you believe in evil? Not just evil as the result of actions or events, but evil as a force in its own right? An Evil with a gravity pulling people to it-an independent force of its own.

Upon receiving a cigar box in the mail containing five small stone animal fetishes and an obsidian knife, Tasha Graybil is suddenly confronted with her Native American ancestry, the mysterious death of her father, and a troubled past.

Tasha, a bright and introspective young woman with cerebral palsy, has managed successfully to navigate life and work in Manhattan's corporate world after breaking free from her archaeologist father and his plans. Now, returning to New Mexico for her father's wake, she must not only contend with the mystery of his passing, but a Native mother she's never known, and a fantastic destiny of magic and metaphor.
