A magnificent saga of two proud and powerful families--one British, one African--and their battle over Kenya's destiny in the twentieth century. In 1917, Dr. Grace Treverton arrives in Kenya, determined to bring modern medicine to the African natives. Her brother, Sir Valentine Treverton, has his own dream for the British protectorate: to establish an agricultural empire to rival any in England. The aspirations of the wealthy Trevertons collide with those of the Mathenge tribe, an African family that has lived on the land for years. Grace soon finds a deadly rival in Mama Wachera, an African medicine woman who fights to maintain native traditions against the encroaching whites. After Wachera curses the Trevertons, a series of tragedies threatens to destroy what the once-great family fought to create. But the fates of future generations of these two remarkable families are inextricably bound. A bold and brilliant achievement, Green City in the Sun brims with all the drama, violence, and fierce beauty of the Kenyan landscape.

From New York Times bestselling author Barbara Wood: A magnificent coming-of-age saga about two sisters from an aristocratic Egyptian family who rebel against tradition. Inside a beautiful mansion on Virgins of Paradise Street in post-World War II Cairo, Jasmine and Camelia Rasheed grow to womanhood under the watchful eyes of their grandmother and the other women of the prominent Rasheed family. Despite the glamour and elegance of the city, women still wear the veil and live in harems. But as Egypt begins to change, so do Jasmine and Camelia. Rebelling against a society in which the suppression of women is assumed, Jasmine and Camelia embark on turbulent personal and professional voyages of discovery. Cast out of the family, Jasmine travels to America to become a doctor while Camelia sets out to become one of the foremost beledi dancers in the Middle East. Sensuous, spicy, and romantic, Virgins of Paradise is a spellbinding novel set in an exotic and erotic culture. Brilliantly portraying two sisters' search for identity amidst historic change, Wood also conveys a portrait of an ancient nation merging into the modern era while mired in superstition, magic, and mythology.

In 2009, a cache of 1st century manuscripts was discovered in Southern France. Jeanne-Marie de Nord, the young Canadian translator on the archeological team, tasked with translating the hundreds of Gnostic and Christian documents, realizes that some of the scrolls are a woman’s personal journal. The journal records a story that is hauntingly similar yet disturbingly different from what we think we know of the time. It’s a tale of learning, love, conspiracy and betrayal and raises many questions. Why were the scrolls buried near Marseille? Who was this woman of the journal? What part did she play in the conspiracy to free Israel from Roman oppression? Why has her tale been suppressed for the last 2,000 years and who has been suppressing it? As Jeanne translates the scrolls looking for answers, all she finds are more questions. She had better find answers soon, or she may lose the chance forever. Others are closing in on the project, intent on burying the scrolls for another 2,000 years and possibly Jeanne along with them.

Acclaimed novelist Barbara Wood combines her superb storytelling gifts with medical and historical fact to create the epic adventure of an unusual and gifted young woman seeking her destiny in the ancient healing arts. Born into the tumultuous world of ancient Antioch, Selene is orphaned at birth. But before her father dies, he leaves a puzzling clue to her heritage: she has come from the gods and has a special destiny to fulfill. In the coming years, Selene studies the primitive healing arts with Mera, the healer-woman who adopts her. She learns how to lower fevers by brewing Hecate's Cure from the willow tree, how to apply green mold to an open wound to prevent infection, and most important, how to calm a patient by summoning the inner power of the "soul flame." But on her sixteenth birthday, Selene falls in love with Andreas, a passionate and troubled surgeon. When fate cruelly separates them, Selene's search for Andreas takes her to the great centers of civilization in the ancient world—Egypt, Babylon, and Rome. Desperate to find Andreas, Selene is torn between love and her dreams of healing when a revolutionary vision brings her to the fulfillment of her destiny—and the dawn of modern medicine.

Una saga familiar con amores, enfrentamientos, luchas de poder, pasiones prohibidas, penalidades y dicha en la exótica y cambiante Hawái del siglo XIX. Emily es una de las primeras mujeres blancas en pisar la isla grande del archipiélago de Pacífico envuelto en misterio que, hace unos años, descubrió el capitán Cook. La joven esposa del reverendo Stone siente que todo lo que ve hiere su sensibilidad: las humildes chozas a la sombra de las palmeras, la actitud desinhibida de las nativas, las abominables costumbres y los ritos paganos. Con el paso de los meses, sin embargo, sus impresiones iniciales experimentan un vuelco gracias a la amistad que entabla con la sanadora Pua y con el capitán Mackenzie Farrow. El creciente deseo de mejorar la vida de los isleños sin condenar sus tradiciones y creencias a la desaparición convertirán a Emily en una mujer nueva. Su valentía y viaje emocional darán origen a una saga familiar estrechamente ligada a la vibrante historia de Hawái a lo largo del siglo XIX. Una historia cautivadora sobre la vida sencilla de los habitantes de una isla paradisíaca en tiempos convulsos. La aventura personal de dos mujeres inolvidables que dejaron atrás su vida y sus creencias para abrazar un futuro distinto. Reseñas: «Una lectura fascinante para las lectoras de novela histórica.» Publishers Weekly «Gracias a su cuidado por los detalles genuinos y a unos personajes memorables, Barbara Wood logra que las páginas de sus novelas cobre vida.» Booklist
