Chronicle Concering Books Where the Deer Dwell
Lonely and out of place in the 21st century, Olivia Keller finds her escape in books, especially romances set in the distant past. When a series of unexpected happenings places her in the very time she's always dreamed of, she is struck with the old wisdom to be careful what you wish for. Cast into a world she could not have understood if she'd read a thousand books, fantasies are abandoned and survival remains the only goal.It soon becomes apparent, however, that survival is just one of the many challenges she'll face as she experiences the ancient world through the members of the Deer Clan. She is reviled by the sardonic clansman, Trabor, who has convinced members of the clan that the solution to their misfortune is the conquer and pillaging of neighboring clans.
Befriended by Jalen, hunter of the Deer Clan and its eldest member, Yani, her arrival is seen as the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy to unite the Clan with its deer brothers. To others, she is an outsider, cursing the clan and dividing its members between those who choose Trabor's path of war and those who cling to reunification and a return of prosperity.
As the hailed Caller of the Deer, Olivia bears witness to Earth's mystical past, as the realization of her true mission is revealed and she is granted the extraordinary power to change the course of Earth's history.

This is an awesome book!!! Seriously recommend.I truly loved this book! It was definitely a surprise, as the first few chapters lull you into thinking that you know what this book is going to be about, then with neck-cracking speed it changes gears and throws you into a beautiful, dangerous, and thrilling world. The only reason I put my iPad down while reading this book was simply because children need to be fed and changed... if I had had the option to just sit down and read it through the night in one heart-pounding session I would have. I
2..maybe 2.75 stars? Ok the premise of this book piqued my interest. The first third of the book in a very matter of fact manner gives us insight to Olivia's modern circumstances as a paralegal with an unrequited infatuation with her boss, Anthony. Then- stuff happens. She gets kidnapped and and they force her to travel back in time to prehistoric cave man times. I'm not going to look up the proper names for the epoch she traveled back to because the author didn't bother either. This book is
I grew up reading the Clan of the Cave Bear series by Jean Auel, the incomparable first in what would be the very popular genre of prehistoric fiction. And like Olivia Keller in, "Where the Deer Dwell," I scoured bookshelves for any prehistoric fiction I could get my hands on. There was something about the imagination it took to write this great fiction and something about man's formidable yet mystical distant past that had me hooked. "Where the Deer Dwell," is written from this perspective,
Time travel A time travel story. A love story. An adventure story among ancient Indians. A story for readers of all ages and interests.
Where is book two? I want more!This has been the most satisfying read I've had in a long time. Unrequited office romance, abduction, then Clan of the Cavebears. Let go of disbelief. Enjoy the ride. There is action and adventure but also Walden contemplation and zen yoga.I must admit that I am too ADD to sit still for the meditation bits, but I put on the fast text-to-speech and felt more in touch with the main character.Dorothy Gravelle, I can hardly wait to read more of your work!
