Book 2 of the "Children of..." Trilogy finds us back on Planet Earth. Most of the humans are striving to heal and rebuild and find ways to live on the Earth without harming the planet, but many are tired of living without the things created from harming the planet. Excuses are made for having a limited amount of planetary resources used for emergency situations, but once the door is open, the limits continue to have exceptions. There are some in power who will do anything to get what they want. Running Tree has disappeared, and some still believe he is alive and is the only one that can help. Will the children's children find the truth in time?
