Shasta Through My Window: A Memoir

A grandson sets out to collect his grandmother's stories, finding a larger truth about family, resilience, and the meaning of home along the way.

Joan Caster came of age as the last traces of the Old West faded into memory. In Yreka, tucked between the Klamath and the Cascades, she learned to navigate a world already changing.

Shasta Through My Window is the story of what she carried forward: the hardships of past generations, the strength they left behind, and her quiet determination to shape a brighter future.
