Deidra Whitt Lovegren – författare

In the aftermath of the United Authority''s fall-war, pestilence, and famine continue to ravage the land. Nation-states, already reeling from societal and environmental collapse, fail to provide the basic necessities.

Bloodshed brings strife to a land born after the end of electricity, as MilitiaMen coalesce around the banners of ambitious warlords.

After five years of relative peace, the Medicine Woman is kidnapped, becoming enmeshed in a brutal conflict between those who love her and those who want to weaponize her.

In the sequel to The Medicine Girl, the Medicine Woman struggles to maintain her humanity. Her mother''s mandate to "alleviate suffering" proves almost impossible to fulfill as she makes her way through an amoral world-one hell-bent on making her an instrument of destruction.

From comedy to tragedy, 21 Conversations is speculative fiction that explores a range of tête-à-têtes-perfect to eavesdrop on, as assorted characters debate, dispute, and discuss the complexities of the human condition.

The Story

Before she is sold off by her father, the Medicine Girl must escape the Florida Penal Colony.

But where?

Environmental degradation has rendered the few former states uninhabitable while other regions have declared themselves sovereign nations. While MilitiaMen wage war against each other, she knows choosing the wrong faction means the difference between a hard life and a painful death. 

The Medicine Girl must use her wits and vast knowledge of natural remedies to barter her way through a wasteland. But her mother''s directive to "alleviate suffering" in a place with endless hardships makes her question all that she''s ever known.
