Gathering The Dreamcatchers Omnibus

This 4-novel omnibus begins with a book Publisher's Weekly termed "courageous, thought-provoking" and the Los Angeles Times called "suspenseful, sensitively written" in which Amelia Monet escapes from her father's home to begin a new life and identity in San Francisco, LIVING IN SECRET with her mother and her mother's girlfriend Janey. Meanwhile, in an entirely different part of The City, in book #2 THE SKIN OF WATER: DEFENDING THE DREAMCATCHERS, Lisel Martinez, a young first nation woman, has left her New Mexico pueblo for a fresh start in California that will hopefully be better and safer than the life she's leaving behind. Yet is there a way for girls on their own to stay safe in a world that seems anything but...? Empowerment is just a word: until you live it. In ESOTERICA, the third book of this 4-novel combo edition, we rejoin characters from the first two books as Amelia -- older now and done putting up with safety issues of her own -- decides to take matters into her own hands. Her dad is a criminal, and criminals are supposed to be in jail, aren't they? In the next-to-final book in the series, PARADISE FOUND, Amelia's battles to remove herself from an abusive parent's custody conclude...and much loved characters from THE SKIN OF WATER reappear. Amelia is practically an adult now; it's time to create a life of her own and perhaps a whole new way to live too. This is the 21st Century after all; a time of great societal change when females are starting to rock and rule, and certainly high time for many things about humanity to improve! No matter what kind of twists and turns life has, it's never too late to become a healthy, happy grown up, right? GATHERING THE DREAMCATCHERS: four unique adventures in family, intentional community, sovereignty, friendship, love, sexuality, radical activism...and all the magic in the world. (And stay tuned for the series finale 'LIVING IN LIGHT...' due out in 2022- 2023!)
