Go West Young Lady! Love - Sex - Naivet - Family - Values - Commitment - Betrayal . . . Patricia Damery weaves a seductive tale about life's insoluble contradictions. A Midwestern farm girl leaves the confines of her family heritage and is transformed by life's vicissitudes. Snake stories, symbols of transformation, are cleverly intertwined in this highly entertaining novel as Angela, the heroine, undergoes numerous rights of passages, and comes to terms with life - her life - exactly where, when, and how it unfolds. Highly recommended, Snakes is deeply rooted in Mother Earth-and Soul.ReviewsSnakes is a poetic meditation about the intertwined cycles of life and farming . . . the memories, dreams and reflections of a nurturing mother claiming her authentic role within the natural order of children and husbands, kitchens and bedrooms, warm tidal pools and freshly ploughed fields-and gardens where snakes live amongst the flowers.-Malcolm's Round Table, Malcolm R. Campbell, author of the novel Garden of Heaven: an Odyssey"So what is Snakes about? It is about the Risks we take, both major and minor, that coalesce over time to define our lives. It is about the Fear of the little things and Fear of the big things, and at the end of the day, the month, the season, and our lives, finding out that it was a shorter distance to Love than we thought. It's about Mistakes and Regrets, and how necessary they both are to a life well and fully lived. It's about the Earth and the Sea; the Individual and the Familial; Respect and Trust; Youth and Age. But most of all, Snakes is about finding one's place in the Universe and how that journey is formed."-New Mystics, Joey Madia, author of Jester-KnightAbout the AuthorIn addition to Snakes, Patricia Damery is the author of Farming Soul: A Tale of Initiation.
