Een jonge Engelse maakt als een van de eerste vrouwelijke artsen in Amerika carrière.

Het leven van enkele vrouwen uit een Egyptische familie.

Drie miljoen jaar geleden stortte een meteoriet neer op aarde. Uit het mysterieuze sterrenhof ontstond een diepblauwe kristallen steen. Honderdduizenden jaren later wordt de steen ontdekt door een Neanderthalmeisje - en geeft haar de kracht haar dromen te volgen. Van generatie op generatie reist het magische flonkerende kristal over de hele wereld en verandert de levens van hen die ermee in aanraking komen. Van de Afrikaanse savannen naar het oude Jordanië en de eerste christenen in Rome, tot Engeland in de Middeleeuwen, via Duitsland en het Caribische gebied naar de pioniers van het Amerikaanse wilde westen. Door vele landen, handen en tijden heen beïnvloedt de kosmische steen het levenslot van alle vrouwen die hem dragen. Begeleid u het kristal der dromen op zijn reis en zie hoe de geschiedenis van de mensheid zich ontvouwt.

Tijdens opgravingen bij een Indiaanse heilige plek vindt een Amerikaanse archeologe tekeningen die ze eerder al in haar dromen zag.

Born into the tumultuous world of ancient Antioch, Selene is orphaned at birth. But before her father dies, he leaves a puzzling clue to her heritage: she has come from the gods and has a special destiny to fulfill. In the coming years, Selene studies the primitive healing arts with Mera, the healer-woman who adopts her. She learns how to lower fevers by brewing Hecate's Cure from the willow tree, how to apply green mold to an open wound to prevent infection, and most importantly, how to calm a patient by summoning the inner power of the "soul flame." But on her sixteenth birthday, Selene falls in love with Andreas, a passionate and troubled surgeon. When fate cruelly separates them, Selene's search for Andreas takes her to the great centers of civilization in the ancient world-Egypt, Babylon, and Rome. Desperate to find Andreas, Selene is torn between love and her dreams of healing when a revolutionary vision brings her to the fulfillment of her destiny-and the dawn of modern medicine.

BOOK ONE OF THE BUTTERFLY TRILOGY From New York Times bestselling author Kathryn Harvey comes an arousing, passionate story of three women's hidden desires and the place called Butterfly, where dreams are kept and where fantasies come to life. Above an exclusive men's store on Rodeo Drive there is a private club called Butterfly, where women are free to act out their secret erotic fantasies. Only the most beautiful and powerful women in Beverly Hills are invited to join: Jessica, a lawyer who longs for the days when men were men, and women dressed to please them; Trudie, a builder who wants a man who will challenge her--all of her--with no holds barred; and Linda, a surgeon, who uses masks to unmask the desires she hides even from herself. But the most mysterious of them all is the woman who created Butterfly. She has changed her name, her accent, even her face to hide her true identity. And now she is about to reveal everything to realize the dream that has driven her since childhood--the secret obsession that will carry her beyond ecstasy, or destroy her and everyone around her.
