The Clay Remembers: Book 1 in The Clay Series

...everything has its own spirit--even a broken pot. They say the clay remembers the hands that made it.

Oppressed by a husband who treats her as his property, Anna Robinson flees to the Southwestern desert. As an archaeologist, she knows each sherd, each scrap of cloth holds something of an earlier life. And each artifact draws her more intimately into the stories of Esperanza Ramirez, a nineteenth-century homesteader, and of the Hohokam woman before her. Can their experience here under a rugged ridge in the Santa Catalina Mountains, joyful and tragic both, give Anna the strength to face Foster, the armed and dangerous husband on her trail?

~Alive with the light, scent, and grit of the desert, this first volume compels from the outset.

~A beautifully composed novel.

~An entertaining read sprinkled with a little romance, suspense, local history, and discovery of inner strength and resolve.

~I couldn't help but love a story with such emotional depth and a charactrer . . . as real as Anna.
