Japanese immigrant Harry Shikita dreams of building Rainbow Gardens, Minnesota’s first motel. But the 1920s are a tough time to be an “Oriental” in America; Harry must deal not only with prejudice, but also the trolls. Yes, trolls-the kind that turn to stone. Cursed descendants of Cain, the trolls are trying to find their way back to God through their Redeemer. The trolls think Harry’s the Redeemer, but he’s unwilling—he’s on a quest to be accepted, to be an “old boy.” The fates of Harry and the trolls combine in a romp through history, providing a glimpse into American life–from the Roaring 20’s to two world wars. Will Harry succeed, or will he become the trolls’ Redeemer? The answer lies within the neon paradise of Rainbow Gardens. $0.99 on Kindle.
