I have to admit that only read a few chapters and didn't finish this book. Partly because it basically seemed a copy of Jean Auel's Earth's Children series, and partly because of the main character. Somehow I just couldn't empathsize much with a woman who calmly assumes that casual rape and beatings are just part of a normal day.

From back cover: Kwani. A beautiful woman born in the American southwest long before Columbus...whose blue eyes marked her as a witch and set her apart from the Indian tribe that raised her.
Following her path of destiny in a vanished world of great stone cities and trackless wilderness, warring tribes and mysterious travelers from other lands, Kwani found love with Kokopelli, the Toltec magician, who rescued her from death and took her to the Place of the Eagle Clan. There she was transformed from an outcast to the Chosen of the Gods, where she became She Who Remembers and taught young girls the ancient secrets only women know...secrets that provided her with inner power to overcome and triumph-and change her life forever.
