Synopsis

What makes a hero? Are they born or made?

Do they have a choice?

These are the questions that are asked and answered in the

novel, "In Search of the Rabbit Man." 1968 is a time of change

and loss and discovery: of finding new identities, new strengths

and new voices.

The author notes, "This is a story of how people overcome

disappointment and loss and find a new beginning. It also shows

how fear, rumors, and myths can dictate the human and social

behavior of a community."

The story opens in Dallas, Texas the week after the assassination

of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., when a community is trying to

recover and not revolt. A badly decomposed body is found in

a new, middle class neighborhood and the citizens are trying

hard to overcome the stereotype that is applied to all black

neighborhoods that have faced the same situation.

One young man, A twelve year old, goes on a quest to solve the

mystery and find the answers to the myth that has haunted the

old community and is being repeated in the new. His quest leads

him to revelations of past and present events and the implications

that threaten the future.
