Double Dare II, A Shaman Appears - Paperback

In Double Dare II, A Shaman Appears, the members of the chosen family celebrated in Double Dare find themselves dealing with the unthinkable, a global pandemic that changes life for everyone. Each couple is forced into isolation, eliminating the regular gatherings that helped form the family. Distance grows, up to three thousand miles in one instance. Raphael, one never to be denied what he seeks, eventually finds a way to defeat the pandemic's mandated isolation. But even Raphael can't defeat the virus itself.

There are dark days in this, the age of COVID. Especially after the murder of George Floyd and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, which galvanizes the family in support of Niki. And leads to more than one shocking encounter while protesting in the streets.

But not all days are dark. A new member is welcomed into the family, someone who brings a peaceful continence and a measure of lived experience which is appreciated by everyone. Through it all, love grows. More dares are issued and performed. Secrets are revealed. And despite it all, life gets better.
