In his new book, "The Voice of the Looking Mountains," celebrated author Otto Crist bal Almeida has a fantastic story to tell about Creation and the first spoken word of God. It is a tale spun from the boundless stories of his numinous paramour, Niva Miramontes, who speaks with uncommon conviction. "In the beginning," she insists, "God said Let, and the rest is just a spectacle."

From a mysterious monastery in Veracruz, Mexico to an overnight cruise on the majestic Hudson River, Miramontes reveals her heavenly gift of parable. Weaving together generational saga of the Portuondo family--their salacious past and their journey to redemption--Niva's tales captivate Otto.

Overwhelmed by Niva's spellbinding words, Otto falls into the clutches of a dream's dream --a place where fiction invades life, yielding truth of a different kind. His book languishes and finally lands on the desk of his brooding editor, L. Rand Bonarias, who plunges into the unfinished manuscript and discovers that while Otto's love story may be a literary gimmick, his unbelievable account of the story of Creation and Niva Miramontes is more than artful prose.
