San Francisco, California is a might magical town. This 3-novel combo begins with a novel Publisher's Weekly termed "courageous, thought-provoking." In it, 11-year-old Amelia Monet escapes from the father who has custody to begin a new life and identity in San Francisco, LIVING IN SECRET with her mother.
Meanwhile -- in a different part of the city that might as well be an entirely different world -- Lisel Martinez, a first nation's 16-year-old, has left the pueblos of New Mexico for a new life in California she hopes will be safer. Is there a way for a girl on her own to keep herself safe on city streets that are anything but?! Yes...according to THE SKIN OF WATER: DEFENDING THE DREAMCATCHERS!
And in ESOTERICA, the third novel of this combo, we rejoin Amelia along with some of THE SKIN OF WATER characters as Amelia, older now and done putting up with safety issues of her own, decides to take matters into her own hands. A dad having sex with his own kid is a crime, isn't it? And aren't criminals supposed to be in jail? It is time for a lot of things about America to change.
