"A meticulously documented and gut-wrenching account
of the gratuitous acts of violence against women's bodies, black and white, slave and free, young
and old... A major work of scholarship that was long overdue, and that all historians should be
grateful for."
—Susan Brownmiller, author, Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape.

Imagine Anne Rice being
trampled by the cast of Are you being Served?
Joelle Lachance works with the terminally banal. That is, she
runs the Health Food Shop at Weatherstons Department
Store. Patriarchy, incompetence, lowbrow politics? All in a
day's work–until Maximillien Lambert darkens her door.
Max is tall, pale, and colder than burial ground in January. He
owns Weatherstons' new Cyber Café, but he's far more
interested in Joelle than he is in hard drives. When Joelle
starts having nightmares, she's sure Max has something to do
with it. Hardware Manager Geraint McKellar is suspicious, too:
why is Max offering meditation lessons to Weatherson staff?
After all, the guy's more like the Grim Reaper's better-dressed
brother than Mahatma Gandhi...

Witch trials in
Virginia? Salem wasn't the first...
Psychologist Shae Howard treats a patient who claims to recall nothing of
the current century. Under hypnosis, Phoebe Wynne tells an astonishing
tale of an ocean crossing to Colonial Jamestown, followed by near
starvation and a daring escape to a nearby Indian tribe.
Although Shae's ex-husband, seasoned police detective Lee Crowley, is
intrigued by Phoebe's story, he remains skeptical regarding her claim that
she's from the seventeenth century. A Native American himself, he does,
however, admit to feeling a kinship with Phoebe. How is it that she seems
to understand his pain and anger at being caught between two cultures?
Phoebe shows Lee "the dreaming," which reveals a misty world where the
Powhatan people and Colonial Jamestown come to life... and connects
him to his own past. Is Phoebe delusional? A witch? Or has she indeed
traveled through time?
