Sweet Kyra and the American Dream

Prepare to sweep through an epic American tale with Sweet Kyra Fjord, a woman for all seasons, as she transforms from an obese girl into alluring, brilliant womanhood: A poet, philosopher, journalist, and mother with a penetrating view of the human condition. High adventure and action? You bet! Flashing you through her family story from the Civil War to modern Chicago. From the moment they meet as children, Sweet Kyra soars in adventures with cousin Helga Steinhoff whose family story takes us back to the Nazi Lebensborn program to create a master race. And best friend Susan Mifume whose ninja, samurai, and kamikaze forebears excelled in World War II. Writing from an intriguing female point of view, Onin weaves a big story in a unique short-literary form including poetry that misses no riveting detail. Bizet's opera Carmen overarches as a connecting force for many enchanting characters. And, of course, an evil Dragon threatens Sweet Kyra's life. Enjoy.
