Bones

About the Book

Jayne Copley, a depressed museum collections manager, finds the petrified bones of an ancient Native American shaman. When she touches a finger bone, she flashes to 1000 BC and can see through the shaman's psychic eyes. Over the next months, Jayne vicariously lives Eyes-of-Wolf's life through her childhood training to become a shaman, to a clan war where she helps save her people, through a disappointing marriage to her joining with the love of her life, the shaman Silver Skin. Through it all, Jayne deals with her own feelings for her married boss and her developing friendships and emerges from her depression into a more fulfilling life. She inherits Eyes-of-Wolf's personal power along with her totem spirit guide, Light-Carrier. BONES is 'women's fiction' with a touch of magic realism and two likeable heroines from very different eras and cultures.
