A Gathering The Dreamcatchers companion novel Trilogy San Francisco, California is a mighty magical and unusual town. Join popular author Cristina Salat in a 3-part journey as she welcomes characters from LIVING IN SECRET and THE SKIN OF WATER/DEFENDING THE DREAMCATCHERS plus ESOTERICA, the third in the unconventional "Gathering The Dreamcatchers" series of adventures for today's millennial teens...and everyone who cares about them. This 3-novel combo begins with LIVING IN SECRET, a novel Publisher's Weekly called "courageous, thought-provoking" with 11-year-old Amelia Monet escaping from the father who has custody to begin a new life and identity in San Francisco with her mother and her mother's partner Janey. Meanwhile -- in a different part of the city that might as well be an entirely different world -- in THE SKIN OF WATER: DEFENDING THE DREAMCATCHERS, Lisel Martinez, a first nation 16-year-old, leaves the pueblos of New Mexico for a new life in California. Is there a way for a girl on her own to stay safe in a city that seems nothing but dangerous? Empowerment is just a word...until you live it. And in the third novel, ESOTERICA, we rejoin characters from the first two as Amelia -- older now and done putting up with safety issues of her own -- decides to take matters into her own hands. A dad having sex with his own kid is a crime, isn't it? And aren't criminals supposed to be in jail? It's time for a lot of things about America to change
