Prelude

A Novel

Three women's lives intertwined across time in one Valley.

Mary travels with her adventurous husband to the settlement she calls Arcadia...but is there hope for her?

Fifteen year old Sally discovers a playground for the rich in Arcadia years later and decides she can invent a new life...or can she?

Arcadia is Lucinda's hometown that she decides to come back to after college...but is it still home?

Each story told us something about ourselves, interwoven, intertwined, enchanted... where the "fault lines" of three women's lives run deep in three different eras in the hauntingly beautiful --and at times corrupt -- Arcadia Valley.
