1850, northern California: Heroes and villains from 3 cultures (Native Peoples, Chinese, Anglo) collide as they struggle to survive the raw frontier Gold Rush society. Native warrior-shaman (female) teams with Chinese martial hero (male) to save their peoples from ethnic extermination. Their destinies intertwine to fight for the rights of their son ISHI to have better options than beheading, hanging, slavery. ROOT AND BRANCH is an original work of historical fiction based on fact-not politically-correct propaganda--and documented by the social history of California, Boston, and Kwangtung, China of the 19th Century. ROOT AND BRANCH weaves a story of cultural myopia, class warfare, gender models and manipulation, examining the differing mind-sets and behavior during the Gold Rush, and the impacts that have goose-stepped us up to the edge of self-extinction. For those tired of the pap-crap of best sellers.
