Vanishing Frontier

Set in San Diego, this audiobook explores the profound social and environmental changes over the past two decades, from the devastating Cedar Fire and rapid urban development to water access issues and cross-border dynamics. Through the perspective of a first-generation millennial, it examines how these shifts impact local communities, culture, and identity amid gentrification, natural disasters, and economic challenges. Interweaving key historical events like the mortgage crisis and COVID-19, the story highlights ongoing struggles to preserve open space, clean water, and community integrity in a rapidly changing landscape.
