"Beneath the Hill" by Pat Carr
There's a new Gray Rabbit Publications book available: Beneath the Hill by Pat Carr. The book is about "Five American women who come together briefly in 1962 in Cali, Colombia, beneath the hill that dominates the city.
* Nora, the archeologist, who doesn't relate to other women.
* Alicia, who knows she's beautiful and can attract any man.
* Melanie, who doesn't recognize her own beauty and intelligence.
* Seraphia, whose French husband is barred from the United States.
* Charlotte, who is on her third affair.
Their interwoven stories of birth, death, love, and loss bring each to an awareness and resolution that one critic has called "as satisfying as if I just had a full meal."
The cover art is a watercolor painting by the author.
