"Dalva" is a novel about a 45-year-old woman who journeys back to her Nebraska roots to find the son she gave up for adoption as a teenager. Along the way, she uncovers family secrets through her great-grandfather's journals, which chronicle American history from the Civil War to the Wounded Knee Massacre and the Vietnam War. The story explores themes of personal and historical identity, love, and redemption.
