Twenty year old Casey Anderson's life changes forever when her father, the Colonel, suddenly dies from a heart attack. After the funeral, Casey goes into her father's home office and while searching through his desk, she comes across a file folder that held her father's Last Will & Testament and another document, Evidence of Adoption! From reading the document Casey discovers that she was adopted at the age of four, but has no recollection of her past. Casey questions why her parents never told her about her adoption, has her life been nothing but a lie? When she confronts her mother Jan about her adoption, she is vague and offers little information, leaving Casey to embark on a difficult quest to find her birth mother and get answers about who she is, where she came from, and why she was given up for adoption.

In Casey's Quest, author Tamara Lee Dorris weaves an intriguing story set in Sacramento, California, that has a fascinating mixture of mystery and suspense that will keep the reader turning the pages.

As the reader follows Casey on her quest to find her birth mother, the investigation starts out with an innocent intent to find out about her past, and quickly turns into a strange and dangerous journey, when she learns that her past includes classified military experiments involving the gift of remote viewing that puts her life at risk. And if that isn't enough, Casey takes her job as a bank representative in the asset management department (home mortgage and foreclosure) beyond her job description, when she tries to help a sick woman whose house has been wrongly scheduled for foreclosure, leading her to discover that there is the possibility of loan fraud occurring at the bank.

This intriguing story does have a slow start, but once the reader gets into the heart of the story, it will pique their interest with its suspenseful twists and turns. The story touches upon adoption, banking principles and real estate, Native American spirituality and shamanism, the gift of remote viewing and developing the ability, and classified military experiments and missions.

I really enjoyed following Casey on her quest, and while I did find her to be somewhat naive given her age, Casey's journey is filled with bizarre experiences that opens the door for more than Casey was expecting, and what she discovers is fascinating and kept me drawn in as the story unfolds. The author teases the readers with an open-ended conclusion, leaving them wanting more as Casey's quest continues in the sequel, Casey's Karma.
