Description

Something was terribly wrong in the 1970's. In some ways the decade was a continuation of the 1960's. In other ways, however, it was a repudiation of all that gone before. The American character had changed. For Tessa Kingsley and her family it was a decade of tears and triumph. Finding herself alone and responsible for her two sons and an aging mother, Tessa must navigate her way through a world filled with fragmentation and skepticism. As a woman reentering the workforce, she finds herself facing the same kind of discrimination and lower wages that she and Simon had previously fought so hard against. The way of life she had always dreamed of now seems outdated and out of reach. Tessa's children also reflect the dilemma of the decade. Each views the world from a different perspective. Aaron, the youngest, sees the promise and excitement of a world on the brink of change. Christopher, however, manifests his adolescent rebelliousness in a reflexive cynicism toward authority, blaming adults for all the world's ills. Tessa's journey takes her through the glittering nightlife of Miami, Chicago, and Las Vegas. But, ultimately, she is unable to escape the demons from the past that follow her. She soon finds herself drawn into a world of drugs, gambling and mob vengeance before she finally finds the strength to break free. In the process she also discovers her own sensuality and individuality. It's a legacy she will pass on to her children in the years to come. The Steel Canyon Legacy is a gritty and poignant reminder of a lost decade. It is filled with passion and intrigue, and the divergent story lines will keep the reader guessing until the very end.
