A tender love story, full of anger and ancient longings, cultural/racial confrontation and reincarnation, moving in place from New Mexico to the Susquehanna, and in time from the present to the 1750's and back... Willson's characters are global and cosmic travelers, so true to their belief in peace and the power of love, that they easily become the reader's own friends, teachers and lovers, with voices that echo long after the story has been read. They shine with a refreshing honesty, while they fight to understand the workings of their deepest psychic selves. "Journeying across the continent from West to East and across two centuries in time, protagonists Thomas Grady and Flora Esperante confront ancestral images, hostility, sex, outward anger and inner reality. According to my friends who know, the white teacher and the Native American potter accurately introduce readers to the fascinating realm of metaphysics." -- BOOKS OF THE SOUTHWEST
I liked this book, the characters become part of your heart, and the love between them is very real. Another book that I would higly suggest to everyone .. .is the most beautiful love stoy I have ever read. .. Stolen Moments by Barbara Jeanne Fisher/ What a beautiful story of unrequited love. . .for certain the love story of the nineties." I intended to give the book a quick read, but I got so caught up in the story that I couldn't put the book down. From the very beginning, I was fully caught up in the heart-wrenching account of Julie Hunter's battle with lupus and her growing love for Don Lipton. This love, in the face of Julie's impending death, makes for a story that covers the range of human emotions. The touches of humor are great, too, they add some nice contrast and lighten things a bit when emotions are running high. I've never read a book more deserving of being published. It has rare depth. Julie's story will remind your readers that life and love are precious and not to be taken for granted. It has had an impact on me, and for that I'm grateful.
