About this series
Hidden Treasures is a volume of short literary-poetic-prose stories with socially progressive arguments. The stories range from themes of serendipity, cloning, property rights and race relations. These stories are appropriate for older children, teens as well as adults.
Hidden Treasures -- the first story and theme, is the story of an elderly Cherokee woman who helped run her uncle's cotton gin down south. They were a little unusual in that they hired Native Americans, Blacks, Jews and anyone who wanted to work during the 50's -- an era of Jim Crow.
She lives barely inside the boundary of a National Forest and was originally included inside that property on a grandfather clause, therefore did not have to pay property taxes (which is true). Then, suddenly, the government said she owed a huge amount of property tax because a recent land survey said she was actually outside of the National Park.
She becomes frantic and contacts her grandson, but he only has enough money to help her from time to time. He doesn't have much more than she does.
She has more family that she hopes will help save her home. A wild fox is both a protagonist and a suspected antagonist.
Set in the 50's.
Serendipity is sometimes the way of the smallest soul on the planet. In the case of our second story - Skipping Stones, there are two small souls starting a new life. A very pleasant interracial freedom story about two ex-cons, one black, one white.
The third story - The Wishing Well - is a fantasy story of a runaway wild child, growing up naturally...both stories in poetic prose. Clean, gentle reading for teens to adults.
The fourth story -- The Sixth Day -- is a look at a government security agency which cloned a human. We take a close look at his personal life, his rebelliousness and finally, acceptance.
The fifth story -- The Magician -- is a fantasy story about a nineteen year old boy, Winter Moon, who finds out he can create prosperity for all in a very unusual way.
The sixth story -- The Songs of Dolphin -- is a fictionalized set of two true accounts which describe an unusual dolphin sighting and an escape.
The seventh story -- The Bookstore Cat -- is an account of a fiesty cat living in a basement used book store. Empathetic shape-changer story with a surprise ending.
These stories are suitable for older children, teens and adults.
