The Vanishing People

By Fred D Fortune

The Vanishing People is a heartfelt historical novel by Fred D. Fortune that brings to life the imagined world of the prehistoric Hohokam people in the Salt River Basin of what is now Arizona. Blending fact with fiction, the story follows Rondo and Amanda, a young couple whose love, character, and deep commitment to one another become the foundation for hope in the face of a crumbling society. Their children carry forth the future of the commune each with an important part.
As drought, famine, and outside threats challenge the survival of their community, the couple's enduring marriage becomes a symbol of resilience and faith. Their children, raised with purpose and love, emerge as leaders who guide their people to a new beginning in a distant land, preserving the Hohokam spirit and legacy.
Told through rich characters, dramatic cultural rituals, and spiritual insight, The Vanishing People celebrates the power of family, faith, and the divine guidance that can emerge during life's darkest moments. It's a moving tribute to strong marriages, visionary leadership, and the lasting impact of love passed through generations.
