Fiery passions burn hotter than the Arizona desert as Patricia White, talented commercial artist in West Virginia, and White Dove, third wife of a stone-age Anasazi chief, engage in a deadly battle for the man they love. The odyssey takes them beyond ancient cities, through drought, fire and starvation, and into a bloodthirsty battle where only the victor can survive the past as they share the future. Only one of them can give birth to the present and only one can ignite the stirring flames of Dr. Grant Taylor, the man responsible for the Parallel Lives that transcend a millennium. Written by Rose Stadler. 316 pages.
