| Publisher Description: In this, his third novel, Dr. Milton endeavors to make the titles possessed by all womenMaiden, Mother, Cronediscernible. His story concerns a triad of tensile lives, a trinity of goddesses dipped from the same hot, whorled gene pool but forged by distinctly different environments. The result is a cautionary tale replete with psychological, sociological and mystical insights related to child abuse, cancer and clairvoyance. The 'Maiden'precocious and obviously neglectedprovides the storyteller's voice. Thwarted in her attempts to gain care and affection, her abuse is reported with momentous consequences. When Llynthe 'Mother'is told by two different Oncology experts "We have nothing more to offer," she retreats to a childhood belief: High, Mountains are mystical, magical and healing. In the background a fanatical 'Crone' cruelly and sadistically cajoles from an unassailable position. On the journey to the summit of the highest mountain in North AmericaAlaska's mighty Mt Denaliextraordinary triumphs, dreadful disasters and intense meditations on mortality are revealed. Throughout the story, explanations are disclosed, which ache with a wisdom that can only be understood by those who have "been there" and earned the right. Dr. Robert Milton is a graduate of the University of Southern California's Clinical Psychology program. He has authored six books including three novels available on Amazon.com While his world travels and interests reveal a kaleidoscope of themes, his curiosity recently led him to neuro-science and religion, particularly mysticism, which is touched upon in this novel and his recent non-fiction book Your FLEXXIBLE Brain published last year. Currently he lives in Southern California with his dog, an Ozzy Shepherd, named Mr. Dugan. He can be contacted at www.robertmiltonphd.com |
