About this title

Synopsis

Jesse Quill learns that her husband has become enamored with Maya, a sensuous child-woman, thereby creating wounds that were thought buried

Reviews

Set against a sensuous, vibrant background of Hawaiian hibiscus and ancient rites of worship, this powerful, compelling story merges two diverse currents: that of Paul, son of a missionary, and of his Kansas-born wife Jesse, who knew nothing of her father except photographs and post cards. Wedded bliss becomes a nightmare of compulsive attraction, betrayal, and death as Jesse, pitted against unbeatable odds, tries to keep Paul from irresistible 14-year-old Maya. Behind Maya stands a mysterious family past, which Jesse uncovers in her mother-in-law's diary; its shocking revelations include the age-old native belief that the union of father and daughter, brother and sister, will produce chiefs and supernatural power. Forcefully yet inevitably, events speed to a climax, leaving behind memories, wind, and rain. For most fiction collections.
