In 1833, a young, lightning-scarred oak tree grows near a village
of Potawatomi Indians, the Neshnabek. Here, Watseka and her family
must fight to save themselves from the onslaught of white migration
and disease in the Little Woods. But the mandates of the Indian
Removal Act of 1830 and the atrocities of the Black Hawk War of
1832 serve to undermine the Neshnabek's bargaining position as they
relinquish their legacy through the Treaty of Chicago and prepare
for their removal to the west. That same venerable oak stands in
twenty-first-century St. Charles, Illinois, and bears witness to
violence, despair, and hope in the McCallum family's fight to
surmount turmoil inflicted by the encroaching world. When her job
is outsourced to Venezuela, Marilyn McCallum falls into clinical
depression. Her husband, Lloyd, sinks into the compulsion of
illegal sports betting after his profession is supplanted by a
superabundance of Chinese engineers. But with adversaries and
allies emerging from surprising places, the McCallums must come to
quick terms with their new reality. The fate of these two
culturally diverse families living in different eras of Illinois
history merge in Little Woods, a gripping tale of globalization's
disturbing effect on life in the present and the past that offers a
sobering view of our future.
