Credo nella forza speciale che sta dentro il corpo delle donne, che ospita e fa crescere la vita. Non è necessario diventare mamma, per essere madre. La Grande Madre è qualcosa di inscindibile dal corpo delle donne e si manifesta in ogni sensazione di libertà o di desiderio di libertà e di essere pertanto se stesse, con il proprio corpo, carattere, idea, ossa, cuore, viso. Ma altresì abita anche nella psiche collettiva, per cui vivissima ugualmente negli uomini. Credo che le donne, nella nostra epoca, abbiano una grande responsabilità: sognare, incubare e nutrire il nuovo sogno, in modo conscio e consapevole, perché a loro sono affidati i ricordi, delle famiglie e della storia umana intera.

Paul's been gone now for eight days. He was only supposed to be gone for the afternoon, off to the airport to pick up Josie. But he didn't come back. They didn't come back. Not that day. Not in the seven that came after. And now I'm quickly running out of food and water. I must leave our camp.

I must find them. I must survive....

THE ACCLAIMED MEMOIR FROM HANNAH NYALA -- A MOTHER, A TRACKER, AND A TRUE SURVIVOR.

POINT LAST SEEN

Escaping an abusive marriage, her children abducted by her violent husband, Hannah Nyala was left alone to pick up the pieces of her life, to heal physically and spiritually. She wanted her children back...but first she had to fight for her own future, by teaching herself the skills of tracking in the Mojave Desert. She became a search-and-rescue tracker, dedicated to saving the lives of the lost, and so attuned to nature's messages that she can read the history of a footprint, the clues in stones and desert sand. That's just the beginning of her incredible story. For Hannah would soon make the most chilling discovery: someone was tracking her, on a vicious quest to do her harm.
