Raven Possession

Ada Raven, born in poverty and religious fundamentalism, wanted 'it all' out of life and strove successfully to get it--but at a high cost. J. H. Kincaid, a larger-than-life novelist of men's adventure stories, is determined to possess Ada, and she ultimately finds herself torn between Kincaid and another man, William Hagen, who patiently waits in the wings to provide her refuge. Kincaid's sweeping, possessive appetite isn't satisfied with just Ada, though--he wants her sons, as well--all the way to the third generation. Ada's ravenous beauty guarantees her longing to experience and escape the world at once, to be loved by strong, powerful men, is thoroughly satisfied--but at what cost? Raven Possession is the saga of six decades of a remarkable woman's life and of a strong man's vendetta of possession and control over her and her family. The journey takes the reader through the highlights of six decades of American history, from the homesteading of the West to the false interlude of peace in the 1960s. It follows Ada from the small town Midwest, the St. Louis World's Fair, and the Spanish flu epidemic to a celebrity dude ranch in Colorado and ultimately to the halls of government in Washington, D.C., and even exotic Southeast Asia. But everywhere Ada turns, there is the brooding presence of J. H. Kincaid, manipulating her and her family, determined to possess everything Raven until it all comes to a fiery, explosive end.
