{"title":"Ginger Reno","description":"Ginger Reno has always been a writer--it just took a while for her to figure that out. (Her first clue should've been her family always calling her \"the wordy one\"). An enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation, her desire to learn about Cherokee history and culture has naturally spilled over into her writing. Ginger lives in northeast Oklahoma, within the Cherokee Nation, and spends a lot of lakefront porch time with her two favorite people--her husband and their German shepherd.","products":[{"product_id":"spirit-shadow-hardcover","title":"Spirit Shadow - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn Indigenous child discovers her heritage in this story about the power of our ancestors and the way they guide and shapes us, even when we don't know it yet.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilla has always had two shadows.
