Tenaya has never left Yosemite Valley. He was born in a car by the Merced River and grew up in a hidden camp with his parents, surviving on fish, acorns, and unfinished food thrown away by the park's millions of tourists. But despite its splendor, Tenaya's Yosemite is a visceral place of opposites, at once beautiful, dangerous, and violent. When he meets Lucy, a young woman from the south side of the park, Tenaya must choose between this new relationship and the Valley, terrorism and legend, the sacred versus the material. In this retelling of Samson and Delilah, Peter Hoffmeister's Graphic the Valley (Tyrus Books) explores mythical strength, worldly greed, love, lust, and epic destruction.
