The Dandelion Insurrection: – love and revolution – (Dandelion Trilogy`)

Description

Montaigne Medal Finalist – 2022 In a time that looms around the corner of
today, in a place on the edge of our nation, it is a crime to dissent, a crime
to assemble, a crime to stand up for one’s life. Despite all this – or perhaps
because of it – the Dandelion Insurrection appears… Under a gathering storm of
tyranny, Zadie Byrd Gray whirls into the life of Charlie Rider and asks him to
become the voice of the Dandelion Insurrection. With the rallying cry of life,
liberty, and love, Zadie and Charlie fly across America leaving a wake of
revolution in their path. Passion erupts. Danger abounds. The lives of
millions hang by a thread. The golden soul of humanity blossoms…and wonders
start to unfold! Author Rivera Sun creates mythic characters from everyday
people. She infuses the story of our times with practical solutions and
visionary perspectives, drawing the reader into a world both terrifying and
inspiring… a world that can be our own! Reviewers have enthusiastically called
The Dandelion Insurrection…”The handbook of the coming revolution”. Part
fact, part fiction and part prophecy, you will enjoy The Dandelion
Insurrection. From the reviewers: “Close your eyes and imagine the force of
the people and the power of love overcoming the force of greed and the love of
power. Then read The Dandelion Insurrection. In a world where despair has deep
roots, The Dandelion Insurrection bursts forth with joyful abandon.”– Medea
Benjamin, co-founder of CodePink “I love this book! It beautifully captures
the revolution of love that is sweeping the globe, told as an epic novel that
will set your heart on fire. A rare gem of a book, a must read, it charts the
way forward in this time of turmoil and transformation,…you will love The
Dandelion Insurrection!”– Velcrow Ripper, Canadian Academy Award (Genie)
winner, director of Occupy Love “This novel will not only make you want to
change the world, it will remind you that you can.”– Gayle Brandeis, author
of The Book of Dead Birds, winner of the Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged
Fiction “THE handbook for the coming revolution!”– Lo Daniels, Editor of
Dandelion Salad “The Dandelion Insurrection is an updated, more accurate, less
fantastical Brave New World or 1984.”– David Swanson, journalist, author,
peace activist “The Dandelion Insurrection is a prayer seven billion hearts
strong and counting.”– Megan Hollingsworth, Founder of Extinction Witness
“Rivera Sun’s The Dandelion Insurrection takes place in a dystopia just a hop,
skip and jump away from today’s society. A fundamentally political book with
vivid characters and heart stopping action. It’s a must and a great read.”–
Judy Rebick, activist and author of Occupy This! “…a beautifully written book
just like the dandelion plant itself, punching holes through the concert of
corporate terror, and inviting all to join in the insurrection.”– Keith
McHenry, co-founder of the Food Not Bombs Movement Read more
