Author Description

Just Neighbors is a gripping novel that forces us to confront an inconvenient truth about this land we call "ours." When Diana Powers, a news reporter for the local paper, uncovers the dark history of her town, she sets off a chain of events that will shake the community to its core. As the town's residents grapple with the reality that their land was stolen, they realize how intimately the haunting secrets in their own past are not past at all. Digging ever deeper into the drama of the arrow, Diana lets go of her journalistic “neutrality,” and becomes passionate involved in the conflict. Narrated by Diana herself, Just Neighbors forces us out of our comfort zone and propels us into the political whirlwind of today’s headlines. This debut novel from veteran nonfiction author and mediator Mark Gerzon is a must-read for anyone who wants to explore of how collective traumas from long ago can mysteriously touch our personal lives today.
