Press Release Summary = A haunting new love
story about one woman\'s journey of self-discovery in America\'s
southwest.
Press Release Body = For Immediate Release
Arizona - April 23, 2006-- Wallace Dorian\'s first novella, Desert
Rain, takes his heroine, Cynthia Ryan on an ill-fated journey into
Indian country that is sure to please contemporary
western readers. A kind of new-age \"Dances with Wolves\" for
the new millenium, Mr. Dorian\'s characters jump out from the pages
in their search for love and a place to call home.
Blending the myths and lore of the Native American experience through
the Hopi people, Desert Rain has something to say about today\'s
fast food, high-tech, anxiety ridden world while also conveying
an apocalyptic vision of a society that stands on the brink of a
world war.
Throughout all this, lurking in the shadows, are the ghosts from
the past that haunts each of the main characters. The story opens
500 years ago when Coronado is in search of the seven cities of
gold and quickly brings us to the present day and the plight of
the modern
native peoples.
Using the interesting character of a young coming-of-age 18 year
old half-Hopi woman named Mary, Mr. Dorian uses her as a very real
mataphor for the future and in fact, the story ends in the year
2023 having spanned more than 500 years of history which is remarkable
considering this is a novella and a very brisk read.
A love story to be sure, Desert Rain, while not a traditional
romance novel, will be especially appealing to all women and
is a tear-jerker with an optimistic ending.
