This review is from: Goddess of the Mountain Harvest (Paperback)

Goddess of the Mountain Harvest, by Brenda Gates Smith is an exciting new book that challenges the intellect and takes the reader into the ancient civilizations and the inter-relationships between men and women that are still relevant for today. The book is well written in colorful detail and displays the far reaching effects of the worship of the mother goddess that has influenced art, culture and history. It is the 2nd book in a series that has yet to be written. Let's encourage this bright, new author to enlighten us further by continuing these delightful books of courage, beauty and romance. If you enjoyed her first book, Secrets of the Ancient Goddess, you will find Goddess of the Mountain Harvest to be a spell binding, page turner!

I've read this novel and its predecessor several times and have lent them to friends who also loved them. Any news on whether or not the author plans to continue the series?

She did it again. An outstanding repeat performance following the great book "Secrets of the Ancient Goddess". The "Goddess of the Mountain Harvest" is (like the first one) difficult to put down. Paul Shepherd
