Santa Fe Red, White, Black & Blue - Paperback

by P. J. Christman (Author)

Imagine a medium-sized state capital city of Santa Fe, New Mexico, coping with contemporary political and economic changes. A Native American female bookstore owner, South African/Zulu librarian, Anglo hotel and business owner, Kaskasian/Mexican female neurosurgeon, Comanche high school student, Korean-American newspaper editor, and a transgender former military pilot are among the many finding themselves dealing with daily Washington proclamations affecting their lives. Has the USA's executive branch gone too far? Or just the right distance for those with red hats in a bluish city? Grants and jobs may be forfeited. Opposing political opinions not only surface over dinners, but also at the city's annual Literary Festival. Can the country's divisiveness be overcome? Then can romance be a mitigating factor for those dealing with contemporary dilemmas?
