Written on Stone is an epic tale which comes alive across the enormous abyss of time. It explores the psyche and spirit of a people who are forced to leave their homeland in search of a better future. The Ainu of Japan, and others who come from Siberia, Tibet, and Mongolia, travel the ice corridors to reach the Bering land bridge and escape the last ice age. This sets the stage for a story of intrigue and amazing magical events, as they travel south through North America, Central America, and eventually to Tierra del Fuego, the end of the earth. Along the way, they record their stories on stone, so the account of their struggle will last throughout time. Suspensefully paced and alive with a remarkable cast of characters, Written on Stone is the story of that journey. It is a novel of empowerment, a moving tribute to the human spirit.
