Alien Child

This book is engulfing! I'm so happy each night when I fall asleep reading such wonderfully descriptive text! The main character is enchantingly beautiful, in a most spiritual way. The insightful remarks about the structure of our society and what it means to be human make this book worthy of my highest regards.

Innocence and intrigue, love and fear, war and peace -- the themes are eternal. But an other-worldly perspective suggests a new and hopeful vision. This is the apocalypse in reverse. Be prepared for a page turner that inspires. From the lonely self-doubts and confusions of a young girl to the emergence of a global consciousness for peace and justice. To paraphrase Daniel Berrigan, "we must dream of things we never expect to see". This is that dream. It is our faith, our gift, for the generations to come.

This book is hard to put down - the plot turns in unsuspected ways, the characters are intriguing and unpredictable with a hint of mystery. Ms. Lee's prose is excellent - colorful, yet direct. This is fiction with enough hints of reality to make you want to believe it could happen.

Wella's mission to Earth to mate turns into an astounding adventure, a study of human relationships as well as a lesson in love for a child's sake that we would do well to heed.
