Synopsis: Carlota's Journey
A novel based on the "last manhunt" in CA, but told from the perspective of the young woman involved in the story. The Navite American perspective has been skewed, at best, historically. The woman's story has never been told. The book, however, is a novel by default because there is so very little information available about the woman and her perspective.
