The Fourth Woman

This is a novel of reincarnation, woman's destiny in the face of oppression, and a deep and abiding relationship that survives the centuries. This novel is set in Chicago during the late sixties and opens when Kate is experiencing nightmares about three women who seem to want something from her. She goes on to re-experience the lives of a young Egyptian woman (Duana) who is forced to live in a harem, a Nigerian Medicine Woman (Sabia) in the late 1700's, during the time of slaving, and a Black Blues singer (Amanda) after the civil war. The fourth life is her own as she experiences the turbulence of the sixties and a relationship she doesn't understand.
