A WOMAN CHOSEN TO LEAD. A COMMUNITY FIGHTING FOR ITS LAND. A FUTURE HANGING IN THE BALANCE.
In post-Civil War California, the struggle for ancestral land becomes a struggle for identity, family, and survival.
Tamar, the fourth and final novel in Sheldon Greene's The American Quartet, follows Tamar, a Jewish Native American woman chosen to lead her community as it confronts the growing encroachment of settlers, a railroad, and the U.S. Army.
As outside forces threaten the community's ancestral homeland, Tamar must navigate a world of difficult choices and competing loyalties. Her responsibilities grow as she faces the challenges of an impulsive husband, the relocation of members of her community, the birth of a child, and the complications of an affair.
Set against the vivid landscape of late-nineteenth-century California, this historical coming-of-age novel explores the complex relationship between personal desires and communal responsibility. Tamar's journey brings together leadership, cultural identity, family conflict, and the determination to preserve a community's connection to its land.

'Tamar depicts the tumultuous journey of a Jewish/Native American community that finds themselves dispossessed of their ancestral land.
