Deep in the heart of a small, oak writing desk is a legacy that mysteriously connects three family women across centuries and generations in their fight for the future.
Shima’a, an ancient woman with disturbing visions of the Earth’s demise, sends a message of warning and a seed of hope forward in time within the heart of an acorn to three family women:
• Eliza: Post-Gold Rush in the Sacramento Valley, late 19th century
• Harmony: Back-to-the-land homestead in the Sierra Nevada, late 20th
century
• Amisha: Dystopic San Francisco and the Sierra Nevada, late 21st century
Writing on the heartwood of the old desk, each woman is influenced by the ancient message as she views mankind’s escalating destruction of the natural world through the eyes of her time. The women learn to listen to the silence, hold the earth in their hands, gather the women, then do what must be done.
