“Facing threats on all sides, the Dandelion Insurrection dug deep and held fast to the roots of resistance.”

This special 4-session, weekly book club with Author Rivera Sun will explore The Roots of Resistance and its exciting tale of activism and organizing.

Building on the success of the previous book club on The Dandelion Insurrection, everyone is welcome to join this new discussion group. Bring your comments. Bring your questions. Discuss the themes with a great circle of book club members. Ask Author Rivera Sun about the behind-the-scenes moments and backstory in writing the novel.

About the Book: 

Charlie Rider and Zadie Byrd Gray may have won a revolution, but the fight’s not over yet! The new president can’t be trusted. The rich and powerful refuse to step down. A mysterious group called the Roots slips a violent edge into the heart of the movement. When the media cooks up a love affair between Zadie and the leader of the Roots, it takes every ounce of Charlie’s courage and compassion to keep the Dandelion Insurrection moving forward.

You’re in for a wild adventure as the indomitable dandelions rise to the challenges of intrigues, deception, love triangles, and sabotage. They confront it all with passion and bold action that will leave you cheering for more!

“In times of despair, we need hope. In times of frustration, we need inspiration. In times of confusion, we need clarity. Rivera brings us all of these and more.” - Stephen Zunes, Professor of Politics and International Studies, University of San Francisco

"A tale of revolution, resistance and the indomitable power of love… skims tantalizingly close to the surface of what could be political reality in these United States in just a few short years." - Elizabeth Murray, former Deputy National Intelligence Officer for the Near East, National Intelligence Council and Member in Residence, Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action.
