“…if they found her, she would lose more than her freedom; she would lose Shasta as well. They would take her daughter to be raised by others. And so she ran.” Tamarack pits a woman with strong political convictions and a troubled past against forces threatening to rob her of the two things she values most—her freedom and her infant daughter. At the height of mid-century social upheavals embroiling the country a mysterious young woman surfaces on an abandoned hill farm in isolated Tamarack. Artist, mother, political activist, Paula Parker—not her real name; she’s on the run—is falsely accused of killing a cop. Run no more, she tells herself. No one will ever find me here. Tamarack is the story of a woman in jeopardy. It is at once a human drama, a voyage of self-discovery, and a political thriller.
