While the history of Yosemite Valley is essentially the history of the Earth itself, this epic historical novel spans a mere 3,000 years.

A teenage boy kayaking outside the San Francisco Giants baseball stadium hopes an out-of-the-park home run will gain him a floating souvenir. Instead, he discovers something macabre--the body of MaryLou Kowalski, a once beautiful young nurse, washed up on the rocks in the cove adjacent to the stadium. When the autopsy shows she didn't drown, evidence leads to a string of suspects from a small town in northern Louisiana to San Francisco. One of them is Johnny Lynch, a veteran SFPD Police Inspector and secret lover involved in an affair with the married victim. In fear and desperation, his reputation and very career on the line, he calls on his ex-partner and former Navy special forces veteran Steve Lombardi, now a struggling Private Investigator, to exonerate him and uncover the true murderer! In a race to clear his friend's name, Steve embarks on a mission that weaves him in and out of the many eccentric characters that inhabit the Bay Area. Unfortunately, what Steve finds will haunt him forever...
Known worldwide as Lead Belly, Huddie Ledbetter (1889-1949) is an American icon whose influence on modern music was tremendous - as was, according to legend, the temper that landed him in two of the South's most brutal prisons, while his immense talent twice won him pardons. But, as this deeply researched book shows, these stories were shaped by the white folklorists who 'discovered' Lead Belly and, along with reporters, recording executives, and radio and film producers, introduced him to audiences beyond the South. Through a revelatory examination of arrest, trial, and prison records; sharecropping reports; oral histories; newspaper articles; and more, author Sheila Curran Bernard replaces myth with fact, offering a stunning indictment of systemic racism in the Jim Crow era of the United States and the power of narrative to erase and distort the past.
