One of the first woman journalists to travel freely with the Afghan mujahedeen during the Soviet occupation in the late s and early s, Denker, a freelance writer and photographer, exchanged the safety and comfort of her Southern California home for a world on the bridge of fire to find powerful family and spiritual bonds with a people and culture torn apart by war. Her subsequent travels to Pakistan and India were fueled by a passion for the land and its people as well a keen eye for detail. Whether hiking dangerous mountain passes in the remote Hindu Kush or assisting dying women at Mother Teresas hospice in Calcutta,her indomitable strength and compassion resonate throughout this fascinating account of a life-transforming journey. This is a powerful narrative of one womans search for kinship and sisterhood, beauty and grace in a violent world.

What if Time Travel were real? What if Time Travelers from 300 years in the future told you that there was a chance that you could prevent catastrophic climate change, plagues, and wars by going back in time to key Pivot Points and ethically altering the outcome of rigged elections? What if failure would result in the destruction of the biosphere? Would you go?In post-plague 2050 Britain, palm trees tower over the rice paddies of Stonehenge. Tara MacFarlane, a weary 96-year-old anthropologist originally from Taos, New Mexico, longs only to finish out her life in peaceful Buddhist meditation, and rejoin the great love of her later years, the humanitarian Scottish-Afghan doctor Xander, in a future incarnation. Suddenly one stifling autumn day Tara, her great-granddaughter Leona, and Leona’s boyfriend Janus are faced with a trio of Time Travelers from a future alternate Timeline where humanity and the eco-system survived and thrived. The fate of Earth’s biosphere falls squarely on the shoulders of Tara, Leona, Janus, and Tara’s small gray cat, Georgie, who shows a surprising aptitude for telepathy. Time is short to reverse catastrophe that will bleed through into the alternate Timeline, and the Time Travelers must first determine the ideal Pivot Points by reading Time Code vibrations off the great standing stones of Avebury. Unexpectedly joined by the brave and wise cat Georgie, the six plunge into the Time Circle of Stonehenge on their mission. Where and when will they go, and will they succeed in restoring the Earth and humanity to balance?

First place winner for novels in the 2022 National Federation of Press Women Communication Contest! In 1980s Afghanistan, the land where local legend says Cain fled after killing Abel, American journalist Elizabeth Owen becomes one of the first female correspondents to journey into the forbidden warzone of the Afghan-Soviet conflict, where brother fights brother and son bitterly opposes father. Elizabeth's instinctive sisterhood with Afghan women and her growing feelings for Dr. Yusuf, an idealistic American-trained Afghan physician who tends both Mujahedeen fighters and innocent civilians, force Elizabeth into a struggle with her journalistic objectivity as she seeks the truth about love and war on the battlefield of her own heart.
