Ariel's Crossing

After years of being kept in the dark, Ariel Rankin learns that her birth father is a man named Kip Calder who went to Vietnam and then disappeared before she was born. The discovery shakes her world to the core. Realizing she can no longer elude her past if she is to have a future, Ariel leaves behind her life in New York City and heads west to New Mexico to find the mysterious Calder-and the truth of who she is. Audaciously weaving social and magic realism, award-winning author Bradford Morrow delivers a moving exploration of the search for identity and reconciliation with the past.
