About the Book:
Three 6,000 year-old bodies are discovered
frozen in a glacier in Austria.
Where were
they going? What were their thoughts on that day so long ago? When Beth Leyton, a budding anthropologist,
discovers the answers, they have a surprising affect on her 21st century life.
Beth’s personal struggles parallel that of Jaen, a young woman from the ancient
past who is on a quest of her own. Jaen is traveling across the mountains,
leaving her dear family to join Baarak, the man she loves. What will her new
life be like?
Jaen
and Beth live 6,000 years apart — yet the journeys they are each taking are not
really so different. Human nature and the needs of men and women over the
centuries have changed very little. The same Creator is active in both lives.
The ancient past comes alive, mingling with the present as Beth is led to a gripping
reality.
A note from Sandra on why she wrote the book:
“I’m fascinated by the fact that people have changed very little since the beginning in the Garden of Eden. In my story, Jaen from the ancient past, is actually wiser about life and more stable in her relationships than the present-day Beth, who struggles with both. I wanted to present a people that might be only a dozen or so generations removed from the great flood and have religious beliefs that would reflect that. I’m so pleased with the way this story turned out. It truly developed a life of its own as I wrote. All of my books seem to do that.”
