A story about life in pre-historic America. As the earth's climate changes, people struggle to survive while searching for a new leader. If you liked Jean M Auel's works, ("Clan of the Cave Bear", "Shelters of Stone", and "Mammoth Hunters"), you'll like these authors.

Some of the characters:
Little Dancer--The young dreamer whose awesome powers would change the course of history.

White Calf--The ancient medicine woman who taught Little Dancer how to harness his dreams.

Elk Charm--The beautiful maiden who won Little Dancer's heart, but feared she would lose him to his destiny.

Heavy Beaver--The false dreamer who brutalized his people in his unquenchable thirst for power.

Two Smokes--The outcast tormented by forbidden love; his gentleness concealed an inner strength.

Tanager--The young woman warrior whose courage defended a dreamer's vision.

"Filled with tragedy and triumph, courage and conflict, this epic novel is "a compelling recreation of a time before history when man and nature were linked." -- Robert Jordan, author of "The Eye of the World"
