Scapegoat: A Family Saga — Rae Richen

For generations, the Evans-Lloyd family has fought those who sell panic and alarm in order to gain power. This two-book offer covers two stories in the family saga: The Price of Freedom, the story of Gib Evans and friends as they try to save their teachers and their small U.S. community from the power of demagogues during the McCarthy communist-hunting era; and The Hounded, the story of Gib's grandson, Xander who recovers at Grandpa's from a fanatical raid on his home in Pakistan only to discover that anti-Muslim fanatics in the U.S. terrorize the lives of his Kurdish friends who are United States citizens. Set in everytown, Portland, Oregon, both stories show the couarage and potential strength of those who refuse to buy 'fear of others' when sold by the powerful.
