Clan of the Cave Bear absolutely knocked me out. I was afraid I would be dissapointed by a follow-up novel. WOW! READ THIS ONE!

Book 2 in the Earth's Children series will not disappoint! Mrs. Auel's attention to minute details allows you to fully understand and respect Ayla & admire her tenacity. Every bit a woman at the tender age of 17, she has lived a thousand lifetimes, yet despite her bravery, she hasn't personally experienced the joy & sheer abandon of being in love. Until Jondalar & Thonolan arrive in her valley & rock the foundation of her being, that is. She must utilize all the skill and knowledge she learned from Iza in order to keep the man of the Others alive. After fighting for her life and scraping through test after test by her powerful totem, The Cave Lion, survival and self-preservation have become second nature. Betrayed first by the family that raised her and now by the body that holds her spirit, will she have the strength & determination to keep herself and the man of the Others alive long enough to shape the future of all mankind?
