In this, his third novel, Dr. Milton endeavors to make the titles possessed by all women Maiden, Mother, Crone discernible. His story concerns a triad of tensile lives, a trinity of goddesses dipped from the same hot, whorled gene pool but forged by distinctly different environments. The result is a cautionary tale replete with psychological, sociological and mystical insights related to child abuse, cancer and clairvoyance.
The 'Maiden' precocious and obviously neglected provides the storyteller's voice. Thwarted in her attempts to gain care and affection, her abuse is reported with momentous consequences.
When Llyn the 'Mother' is told by two different Oncology experts "We have nothing more to offer," she retreats to a childhood belief: High, Mountains are mystical, magical and healing.
In the background a fanatical 'Crone' cruelly and sadistically cajoles from an unassailable position.
On the journey to the summit of the highest mountain in North America Alaska's mighty Mt Denali extraordinary triumphs, dreadful disasters and intense meditations on mortality are revealed. Throughout the story, explanations are disclosed, which ache with a wisdom that can only be understood by those who have "been there" and earned the right.
Dr. Robert Milton is a graduate of the University of Southern California's Clinical Psychology program. He has authored six books including three novels available on Amazon.com
While his world travels and interests reveal a kaleidoscope of themes, his curiosity recently led him to neuro-science and religion, particularly mysticism, which is touched upon in this novel and his recent non-fiction book Your FLEXXIBLE Brain published last year. Currently he lives in Southern California with his dog, an Ozzy Shepherd, named Mr. Dugan. He can be contacted at www.robertmiltonphd.com

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease, robbing its victims of so much of themselves before the end. For caregivers facing this disease, a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can sound like the ultimate tragedy, the disease that will rob us of our loved one by inches. It doesn't have to be. While Alzheimer's and related dementias are serious and not easily understood diseases, a new guide can help families negotiate the difficult scientific, emotional, and practical issues of dealing with the disease. In a moving and easy to read format, Dr. Steinberg has laid out a true caregiver's guide to dealing with Alzheimer's disease, from the first signs to the final stages. Incorporating science, real-life case studies from his practice and from his extensive experience as a nationally recognized seminar speaker, as well as from his personal journey coping with his mother's illness, Dr. Steinberg leads the reader through a learning and healing process. In a candid and personal sharing of his experience, Dr. Steinberg helps the reader clearly understand what to expect, when to ask for help, how to cope with the changes and the inevitable pressures within the family, and how to continue to love as a loved one's disease threatens family stability and well-being. With his profound knowledge of the disease, its treatment and manifestations, and his great love and tenderness as the son of an Alzheimer's patient, Dr. Steinberg has created a truly memorable work.

Once again, Father Lawrence Ventline inspires us with his imaginative, creative writing. He finds such beautiful ways of describing the so-called ordinary...the "official dump." JoAnn Loria Spiritual Director and Pastoral Associate Sterling Heights, Michigan Green is frequently found in Scriptures, but seldom refers strictly to color. Green brings to mind the freshness and vigor of growing vegetation. It denotes a healthy and prosperous condition of things. One could hardly disagree with the author's challenge to live in the manner in which Christians of new birth and hope should conduct themselves in order to maintain the wellness of their families, community, country and world. Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Totty Transfiguration Parish Southfield, Michigan

This story is about the resilience of the human spirit, following three generations of activist families and the author as child and adult in the context of radical change movements of the twentieth century. The constant chant from the author's mother, "When all the children in the world are happy, only then do you have a right to be," was character defining, as were her many traumatic experiences growing up during the McCarthy era "witch hunts" of the 1940s and 1950s. History of her grandparents participation in an educational commune, alternative living styles, and researched labor union history provides an exciting backdrop.
