In my teen fiction, A Noble Cause, the setting is Shappaway, a fictional town in Southeast Oklahoma. This area, home to many Choctaw Indians, once relied on rock quarries and lumber mills for employment for many years.

Then a large fertilizer plant locates there and begins hiring locals. It changes the economy of the town, which is a good thing. However, by illegal dumping of waste materials up in the hills, they threaten the natural springs, the water supply for many Choctaw families who farm and ranch in the area.

In our story, Jaden is drawn into this very confusing battle.
