ARIEL'S CROSSING by BRADFORD MORROW
|
SummaryWhen, after years of secrecy, Ariel Rankin learns that her
birth father is not who she had always believed he was, but
rather a man named Kip Calder who went to Vietnam before
she was born and then disappeared into Laos as a covert
warrior, her world is shaken to its core. When she herself
becomes pregnant by a man who wants no part of parenthood,
Ariel realizes she can no longer elude her buried past if
she is to have any future. She decides to leave behind her
life in New York City and everything she knows to head west
to find the mysterious Calder. Ariel's search will lead her from the holy village of
Chimayó, New Mexico, to Los Alamos and the pueblo valley of
Nambé, and ultimately across the restricted badlands of the
White Sands proving grounds. Morrow conjures an array of
dynamic, strong- willed individualists whose own distinct
quests for home converge with Ariel's. Audaciously weaving
social with magic realism, he offers a rhapsodic portrait
of how faith, family, and self-identity are inscribed in
each of us, uneasy heritages it is our burden to discover
and embrace.
