I step out onto the back patio and
take a deep breath. The scent of lilacs perfumes the air. The smell wafts across my yard, dancing on
the evening breeze. The blooming of the lilacs to me are the true advents of
spring. No other spring flower gives me
so much pleasure, not the crocus, the daffodils, hyacinths or the tulips. This year, my lilac bushes are loaded. I’m
fortunate, the old couple who owned my house before planted a line of lilacs
along the east side of the property. French lilacs grow in profusion along the
back end and towards the house are white lilacs and traditional. I love the smell of lilacs. They remind me of
my Grandma Edith. She also loved lilacs
and when they were blooming, there was always a vase loaded with blooms in her
house. I remember she always wore what
was then called “Lilac Water,” and it smelled so good, clean and wonderful.
When my lilacs bloom in the spring like no other time, my grandmother comes to
mind. They are great memories. She was a special person and I will always miss
her. I wonder if she is up there smiling
as the scent of lilacs drifts heavenward. Lilacs in the spring.

Sent back 40,000 years to be the mate of a man she had never before met, Riley struggles to understand and adjust. Her journey will take her into a world fraught with dangers - a world made more treacherous by savage beasts, primitive Neanderthals, and the incursion of the aggressive Cro-Magnon man.

Though thrown together by forces beyond their control, love grows between Riley and Nathan - but will they survive?
