COLOR ME RED

About the Book

Anger and politics strike the small western town of Meadow Creek, Montana with a vengeance, giving rise to a vicious community battle. A new young teacher becomes the catalyst; an untried superintendent of schools, the villain in this in this game of mystery and wits between a sluggish rural economy and a wealthy urban invasion. Color Me Red makes a statement about good teachers, rural America and the preservation of a unique way of life.

About the Author

Recently widowed, Kalli Deschamps divides her time between Montana and Ari-zona. Her life as a rancher, teacher and professional artist has prepared her to chronicle life in the contemporary west. The characters in her novels reflect the joys and frustrations of today’s rural residents as they strive to cope with the needs and wants of an increasingly urban population. A trip to Montana during her sixteenth summer was the beginning of a love affair with the state she has never lost. It’s reflected in her education; MSU, Bozeman; U of M, Missoula; her marriage to a Montanan and her subsequent careers. Montana is also home to her family; three married children, twin great-granddaughters and two of her four grandchildren.
