Jerkwater

Set in Mercer, Wisconsin, where tensions over Native American fishing rights are escalating, JERKWATER is told from three alternating points-of-view: Shawna Reynolds, a young Ojibwa woman who doesnÆt much care for white people to begin with, and who is quickly being pulled in a direction she may no longer have a desire to resist; Kay OÆBrien, ShawnaÆs 64-year-old, usually drunk, neighbor who is still grieving the loss of her husband; And KayÆs son, Douglas, who now finds himself in charge of running the familyÆs auto repair shop while dealing with his own feelings of guilt. JERKWATER is a story about the racial tensions churning just beneath the surface of what often appears to be placid, everyday American life.
