"Secrets in the Magic Valley" is a novel based on real places and special people. It's alive with ideas and thoughts that explore the universe of a curious mind.
The story links an escape from a grimy, polluted town in Appalachia to a pristine valley in the Pacific Northwest where mysteries unfold. In this valley harmony breeds harmony.
The valley reveals secrets such as rare plants and animals sequestered since the last ice age 10,000 years ago. Existing hot springs, natural wonders, and gold nuggets add to the intrigue and mystery. But it has other secrets as well. The ultimate secret climaxes the book.
Three characters tell their stories--represented by youth, middle age, and older age--of growth into wisdom and experience, each making a difference in the lives of the others.
It has been endorsed by Wilfred (Billy) Hopkins, author of four top selling books in the UK.
"When it comes to writing beautiful prose, I have to take my hat off to you. Your descriptions are superb, lyrical and even poetic. Your dedication and love of the environment shines through. I liked your use of symbolism. The book has a rich philosophical vein running through it as well as beautiful analogies. A lot of dramatic surprises also keep the reader engaged. Dialogue runs smoothly throughout. It's a book that deserves a second reading in order to capture its full significance."Wilfred Hopkins
