Coming summer 2012 -- Tributary: a novel

A fearless portrait of Mormon Utah in the 1860s, Tributary tracks the extraordinary life of one woman who dares resist communal salvation in order to find her own. From the fetters of Mormon polygamy to the chaos of Reconstruction Dixie and back again, Clair Martin and a small band of
mavericks--white, black and Shoshone--take their place in the land they love.


The strongest revolutions are the quietest. They change us from within.
