Seven thousand years ago... It is the time of the Goddess, and a devastation is coming that will change everything – the landscape of the Mideast, the history of the world, and the life of Na’amah, a young girl with what we now know as Asperger’s Syndrome.

Na’amah’s “wounded mind” perceives the world in unique ways. She sees life simply, but the social rules are far from simple; a violation can mean death. “I speak only truths, unwise as it may be, because lies distress me.”

When she captures the eye of Noah, the boat-maker, her world is forever changed. Kidnapped by raiders, Na’amah must escape and flee across ancient Turkey – a journey of both beauty and danger.

Na’amah finds strengths in her disabilities, courage in her fears, and mysteries beyond her imaginings. She wants only to watch the sheep on her beloved hills – a desire shattered by the hatred of her powerful brother, the love of two men, and a disaster only she knows is coming.
