When a massive earthquake strikes California no one could have predicted the astonishing discoveries that were to follow: as a swimming pool sinks into the earth, it reveals the entrance to a previously unknown cave.
Archaeologist Erica Tyler knows this could be one of the finds of the century, and when she arrives at the scene her instincts are proved right: she finds an age-old cave painting, whose vibrant colours and symbols mark the work of a shaman; a pair of spectacles that predate known European colonisation; and further strange and astonishing artefacts. But most astonishing of all are the human remains of someone known only as the "First Mother", dating back almost 2000 years . . .
'Sacred Ground' is an epic saga, stretching through the ages from the mystery of the "First Mother" to Erica's own modern-day struggle. And as Erica fits the pieces of this compelling story together, what is revealed is a tale of courage, hope, redemption, and, ultimately, love.
