In fact, she and her boyfriend, Jackson, have decided to buy a home together. She was so enamored with the entire situation that she was even willing to let Jackson's older brother, known to his familiars as "Snacks", move in with them. When he starts to slowly take over the household, Angela must work to keep her power and the peace, while also managing her own issues with Jackson, her overbearing mother, and her demanding career.

The daughter of Oklahoma sodbusters, a student of Edward Everett Dale, and a Protegee of Frederick Jackson Turner, Angie Debo was an unlikely forerunner of the New Western History. Breaking with the followers of Turner, Debo viewed the westward movement of European Americans as conquest rather than settlement. Her studies on the Five tribes presented the Native American point of view and incorporated ethnological insights more than a decade before ethnology emerged as a separate field.Shirley A. Leckie's biography of Debo is the first to assess the significance of Oklahoma's pioneering historian in the historiography of the American Indian, the writing of regional history, and the development of national law and court cases involving indigenous people. Leckie sheds light on Debo's family's background, her personality, and the impact of gender discrimination on her career. Finally, Leckie clarifies why Debo became a scholarly pioneer and, later, a ""warrior-scholar"" activist working on behalf of Native Americans during a period of changing Indian policy.
