A Prejudiced Resentment

About the Book

A fourth-generation Appalachian American Indian is falsely charged criminally for environmental sampling crimes after federal and state government bureaucrats nurse a prejudice resentment. He is a survivor and relies on his spiritually-based culture and in the process acheives a greater goal-spiritual growth while living in the European dominant culture in America.
