A River

A RIVER THROUGH STONE

Terminally shy Genie has landed the perfect summer internship: making sketches of ice-age cave art high in the French Pyrenees—as far from social interaction as she can get. But when a nearby physics experiment goes oh so wrong, the cave floor rumbles under Genie, and the faded reds and golds of the painting on the rock wall turn vibrant and new. She touches a trembling finger to a dab of shiny color and discovers the paint is still wet.
Genie has been swept into a distant past—a time of frozen forests and hungry wolves. All she wants is to find her way back to her own time, her own world. But first, she has to stay alive in this one. And Genie is no kick-butt superwoman—she’s the tongue-tied goodie-goodie who sits in the front row of Anthropology 101. Now she must unlock a lost part of herself—a primitive seed of strength—if she hopes to survive. Worse, she has to do what she fears most—bond with others.
Oh, and there’s one more thing.
The only ‘others’ in this world are the Neandertals.
