What People Are Saying:
“This is a modern retelling of Paradise Lost, with the epic downfall of man and the exodus from the garden, but Gabriel’s tale is not rooted in Original Sin, but in Original Separation. Her story is a human prehistory that feels achingly and intuitively familiar, filled with the wisdom of those who have always lived on society’s margins and who seek collaboration, not power.
I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait to read the next one!”
— Brandon D. Reim, Poet and Screenwriter
“A magnificent and immersive story. Ms. Gabriel weaves a world that is both familiar and fantastical, innocent and sophisticated, gritty and gorgeous. I found myself looking for any opportunity to escape into it.
I love this beautiful book!”
— Kelly Driver, Owner, Words & Pictures Press, LLC
“This book found its way into my life at exactly the right moment. I feverishly read it, writing notes in the margins and highlighting passages. Linda Gabriel weaves together a beautiful, gripping, enthralling story with impactful insights and opportunities for personal reflection and spiritual growth.
Please write a sequel!”
