Nurse Maggie Cooper and the Shaman Dawn

Nurse Maggie Cooper and her husband Luke remain in the far northern California Redwood forests after massive economic and social changes render small cities and rural infrastructure decimated and dangerous.

Maggie continues as the healthcare provider for her isolated rural neighbors with the help of Lola a young orphan of the social storms.

They are assisted with homeopathic and ancient practices by Granny Longstreet an old Yurok tribal medicine woman, who also takes Lola under her wing and begins schooling her in the arts of the Shaman believing that new medicine will combine both practical and spiritual knowledge.

The interaction of new medicine and ancient rites, the battle of chaos with order and the survival of the good lends the story it’s name, Nurse Maggie and the Shaman Dawn.
An action tale centered on rural health care, personal growth and ancient native American medicine, Nurse Maggie and her friends survive danger and hardship and fight to begin a new era in their isolated world.
