Produktbeschreibung

Fearful that her husband Jacob is embroiled in an extramarital affair, archaeologist Lily Light turns to psychotherapy, astounding consultations in which Lily often takes on the persona of a young maiden named White Flower, a member of the clan of long-ago American Indian builders of Ohio's Great Serpent Mound. When a gunman's bullets leave Jacob permanently paralyzed from his shoulders down and a woman identified as Jacob's mistress dead, Lily's world is shattered. Through the example of her own life a thousand or more years before, White Flower reveals to Lily the unexpected path to her salvation. Given 5 Stars by Readers Favorite, CRADLE OF THE SERPENT brims with "enthralling" journeys into the human psyche, romantic love, archaeology, American Indian history, spinal cord injury, its consequences, and its contemporary treatments, as well as "amazing" sequences of past-life regression, and unimaginable twists and turns in a long-term marriage. 5 STARS FROM READERS' FAVORITE Author's Social Sites BOOK REVIEW Reviewed by Sefina Hawke for Readers' Favorite Cradle of the Serpent (A Man and a Woman's Imperfect Love) by Linda Lee Greene is a fictional drama with a theme of dream/time travel and archaeology. This is a book that would appeal most to an audience of young adults and adults who enjoy drama romance novels that are not erotic. Lily Light is an archaeologist who works at the Great Serpent Mound in Ohio. Her work opened her to experiences, knowledge, and beliefs she never knew existed. Psychotherapist Michael Neeson is Lily's therapist and guide in her dream travels where she becomes a woman known as White Flower. Lily's life path takes her to heights she never knew existed in her dream travels, yet she also experiences hurt when she discovers her husband's infidelity. Cradle of the Serpent (A Man and a Woman's Imperfect Love) by Linda Lee Greene is a book with a slower pace, yet the leisurely pace only added to the story instead of detracting from it. I enjoyed the way that Lily Light develops as a character during the course of the book as her husband's shooting, his paralyzed state, and the discovery of his mistress leave her reeling. The way that she not only recovers, but also throws herself into her dream states that allow her to embrace White Flower, was amazing. I loved the suspense in trying to discover if White Flower was a dream state or if Lily was time traveling. The additional perspective of Michael Neeson provided a nice balance to the story. I also particularly liked that the love scenes were written to be romantic instead of erotic.

Autorenporträt

Linda Lee Greene is the mother of a son and a daughter and grandmother of two grandsons. She lives in Columbus, Ohio and spends time when possible at her family's lakeside retreat in Hawthorn, Florida. A best-selling author, she is also an award-winning artist. An online retrospective of her artwork is at www.gallery-llgreene.com. Having retired from her career of many years as an interior designer for a Columbus firm, Greene devotes much of her time to writing. Like Lily Light of "Cradle of the Serpent," Greene is of European and American Indian descent. Greene pays homage proudly to her American Indian heritage in many of her writings, as is evident in "Cradle of the Serpent." It is also the case in her next book "My 'Aumakua," a thriller set in Las Vegas and Hawai'i that Greene will release later in 2017. http://Ingoodcompanyohio.blogspot.com - Blog @LLGreeneAuthor - Twitter Username
