It’s 1961, the height of the Cold War and a young archaeologist sets foot into the wild canyons of southeast Utah, searching for a rock-art panel that may hold the answer to the disappearance of the Anasazi. She is accompanied by her dog, Buddy Blue, and a mysterious sometime-companion she calls Mr. Yellowjacket.
Here, in her recently discovered journals, Chinle Miller records her quest for the elusive Bird Panel, as well as her journey through an inner landscape, seeking peace from betrayal by one of the great rascals of the era, Charlie Dundee, the Uranium King. Over 350 pages of adventure in a landscape like nowhere else on Earth, as well as an inner landscape that will touch both your heart and life.
"Chinle Miller knows the High Desert in a way I have seen in print only from Tony Hillerman. Uranium Daughter is beautiful, poetic, moving. It is a story that will engage you from the first page to the last. Well done!" —From Grandma, an Top 1000 Reviewer and Vine Voice Program member
Uranium Daughter eBook Chinle Miller
This is a great tale of the life of a young female archaeologist in the 1960s as she explores the canyons of Utah searching for ancient rock art and exploring her life, her loves, and her purpose. The reader learns through reminiscing about her upbringing in the same area, about her first and most powerful love, and of her love of the desert.She is a very independent person and sets forth on a mission to find rock art that will help explain why the ancient ones disappeared in the area. Her strength and courage propel her and the story.
I love these journal-based novels. I wasn't too keen on the letters used in each chapter to show us her relationships but after a while, they highlighted parts of her character and accented her adventures.
I did like the ending, although somewhat unsatisfying purely from closing up some of the questions left unanswered, it did leave it to the reader to decide what to believe.

Uranium Daughter eBook Chinle Miller Reviews
In the late 60's I hiked and munged around some of the same places Chinle loves so much and share her feelings. To old now and I am limited to RVing around New Mexico these days but this splendid book sure made me feel I was right there with her and Bud. I also campaign against killing the coyotes she loves as well.
Anyway the writing is simply captivating and well done in every respect. You will enjoy this book and also hers others.
About two years ago, I found this as a free book somewhere & read it. I didn't have any expectations - I had never heard of Chinle Miller, and I have to say I really enjoyed the book. Over the past few years, parts of this story pop back into my thoughts during times we have been out "exploring" sections of UT. Chinle's ability to weave a story around the interesting backdrop of southern Utah, unique characters, and bits of history will definitely have me purchasing more of her books.
I LIKED THIS BOOK VERY MUCH. I LEFT THE BOOK IN A WAITING ROOM AND WENT BACK TO GET IT BUT SOMEONE ALREADY PICKED IT UP SO I ORDERED ANOTHER ONE AND AM VERY GLAD I DID. I JUST HOPE THAT THE PERSON THAT PICKED UP MY BOOK OUT OF THE WAITING ROOM LIKED IT AS MUCH AS I DID AND WILL PASS IT ON AS I INTEND TO DO
i liked the book. the title is misleading to me as it is mainly about chinle looking for pictographs in the utah desert in 1960 after receiving her archaeology degree. i think you will enjoy the book. rather strange prologe as u r led to believe chinle is missing. i know this is not true as i read the bud shumlow series first. the utah pictographs are of great interest as some are close to 8000 yrs old ( from the archaic indians). chinle is looking for anasatzi pictographs though. all in all a very good read
I found myself completely enthralled with this book, and I must admit, as a daughter of the San Juans this story resonated in a way I have yet to experience. I didn't want to put this book down, and I found myself looking forward to picking it up again when working and doing daily must do activities. I grew up in these canyons, with the ruins of the Anasazi all around me. Chards and arrowheads, rock-hunting and communing with nature. The book takes me back and I certainly did understand the desire of the lead character to find her true self. The lead is a woman just beginning, and I am a woman in mid-life, yet I felt a deep kinship to her and find myself intensely desiring to "go home". I am an avid reader of everything, and that has never happened.
I hope Chinle Miller reads these reviews because I feel sincere gratitude for the reading and sincere sorrow that the book is over. Thought I do believe there could be a sequel? Anyone reading this review to help decide if they should read this book....Read this book; especially if you have a love of Nature, History, and just good old-fashioned story-telling.
Few places on earth are as remote or as blindingly beautiful as the High Desert country of the Four Corners. Often at an altitude more than a mile above sea level, the sky is huge. On a clear day you can see for a hundred miles or more. Nearly every day is a clear day. If it rains, it is somewhere over yonder where you can see the rain falling in sheets from the sky. With towns few and far between, there is little ambient light to disturb the visions of the night sky, dotted with rivers of colored stars. Roasting hot by day, freezing cold by night, the High Desert country is a study in contrasts. It is possible to leave your house in shorts, hop into your car, and drive 50 or 75 miles to have a snowball fight in drifts past your ankles.
Thirty years or so after Uranium Daughter takes place I was lucky enough to live and work in the high desert for a time. By then, the uranium mines were closed. Communities that had once been established near the mines were abandoned, encircled with warning signs. Cancer was common among the uranium miners who still remained alive. Beauty though - that still remained. One of the most memorable days of my life was a day that I spent climbing up a rock formation to sit on the edge of what had once been a huge inland lake, a huge bowl that swept down into the earth, dried up & inaccessible for eons, listening to the wind in the cedar and watching the eagles circle below. Truly, higher than an eagle.
Whoever Chinle Miller is, she knows the High Desert in a way I have seen in print only from Tony Hillerman. Uranium Daughter is beautiful, poetic, moving. This story is not perfect. There were no ramen noodles here in 1961. The Navajo would likely dispute a few points here and there. It is however, a story that will engage you from the first page to the last. Well done!
