In this time of coming changes, long foretold...it is time, once again, to act.
As a mixed race, modern-day, New Mexico pueblo 21-year-old, Lisel Martinez has been glad to be safely home, co-creating an odd kind of shared life with three California housemates picked up along the way when, once upon a time, she was (much less safely) trying to survive out in the larger world.
Personally, she would be content to do nothing more than keep puttering around in the ever-expanding garden out behind her ramshackle home for the rest of her life...except life for indians (or maybe everybody these days?) just seems to keep getting harder, even after everything her people across the nation have already been through.
A photo-illustrated, novella-length combination of fiction + contemporary/historical fact, if old-time grandmothers are correct, during times of upheaval when Earth is being reborn, it's important to act...
And Lisel's friends have come up with a once-in-a-lifetime plan.
