About this listen
"Magical alchemy: a tale for our times." —Damyanti Biswas, author of The Blue Bar
"A mythic love story." —Tom Joyce, award-winning author of The Missing Peace
Wine Country, California: Pomo Tribal Nation reporter Ishi Darkhorse is outraged that local history is about to repeat itself. To establish an American flagship vineyard, the multinational House of Champagne, De Boulette, is scheming to clear-cut the valley’s ancient redwood forest where, 150 years ago, Gold Rush settlers slaughtered a village of Ishi’s ancestors.
His vow to save the trees and his tribe’s legacy will need luck and an act of grace... because he’s a Native in a white world, a small voice in a media backwater, where wine is gold.
So when a former world-class Queen of the High Wire appears, Ishi gets creative. Delicia Fortunado’s career was peaking when her equipment failed during a show in Russia. The fall left her with significant injuries. Three years on, her doctors think she’s crazy for wanting to get back on the wire. But ‘crazy’ might be the right qualification for what Ishi has in mind.
