More than ever we need the grandmothers, their daughters and their granddaughters.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In the early 1980s, near Mount Shasta, California, author Sharon Mehdi met a beloved Karuk medicine man named Charlie Red Hawk Thom. Charlie said he was going to tell her something she must promise not ever to forget: </p><p>"Men have taken the world as far as they can. It's up to the women to take us the rest of the way."</p><p>In 2004, when the world was askew and getting askewer every day, Sharon wrote a little story about two grandmothers who stood in the park to save the world. It sold many thousands of copies and was translated into half a dozen languages. In the story, she quoted the words Charlie Thom had said to her two decades earlier. </p><p>Now, in 2018, the world is once again askew.
