In 1985 America a naive young woman experiences the real world while struggling to find meaning in a life that doesn’t match the roles determined by her Disneyland upbringing in a rural working class family. As a Hoosier girl, Tracy Perry’s background clashes with her life as an adult English as a second language teacher, idealistic feminist, and bi-coastal explorer of life in the undercurrents of social progress. Radical change in sexual politics, counter-cultural art, music, and literature reshape both her life and that of others around her: her father, a WWII vet given electroshock treatment to address PTSD induced schizophrenia, her dancer friend, an HIV positive bisexual man she falls in love with, her lesbian Lakota friend and lover involuntarily sterilized at age 17 after the birth of her second child, and her mother, who must become the breadwinner in a role switch resulting from her husband’s PTSD treatment. Burning issues become unavoidable as Tracy stands on common ground with fellow human beings facing issues she is unprepared to address—HIV/AIDS epidemic, racial prejudice, genocide, poverty, lack of education, and social justice inequities. It’s an individual coming of age story set in a time and place where collective consciousness drowns us all.

Growing up a military brat and spending eight years overseas with the Army Medical Corps, clinical social worker, Willa Smith, has had enough of rules and regulations. Still able to work with veterans as she did at the VA Hospital, she is much happier at the new and far more relaxed South Avenue Shelter, until one of its residents is implicated in a murder. Former military turned security operative, Dimas Mazur, has worked for PASS security, his brother’s company, since he returned stateside after a disabling injury. The job keeps him busy, but when a homeless veteran he knows runs into trouble with the law, he doesn’t hesitate to jump in. The strong-headed counselor at the shelter where his friend stayed is an unexpected bonus. Until she puts herself square in the sights of the man he’s trying to take down.

More than ever, life in our world, nation, and communities appears insecure and unpredictable. Every day, new and disturbing incidents appear on the news that feed this sense of unrest.
