The Forgetting

A young woman questions everything about the accepted social narrative as she leaves New Orleans with a backpack and a broken heart. Thousands of miles and words later, she will be murdered by those who preach tolerance and praise diversity. Why? Her ideas were different than theirs and divergence from the mainstream is not tolerated. Before that fated day, she wandered and wondered west on a mission maligned, a war of words waged to preserve genuine difference in the face of those who scream equality; for the puppet masters want us the same only in our servitude. They want us to forget our roots and traditions so that we can be uprooted and made compliant. The string pullers want a Forgetting. This book is a call to a Remembering. Remember who you are. Remember where you came from. Remember and make no apologies.
