Book Description
Nearly a century ago, in the Forbidden City, China’s last emperor reigned from his dragon throne. Although he was only a boy, the imperial decrees issued in his name echoed in every corner of the country. Every man had to shave his head and wear a single pigtail to symbolize his submission to the emperor, and every woman was second in importance to the men in her family. Women were obedient to their fathers and brothers and later to the husbands in their arranged marriages. Certainly no woman was encouraged to attend school or to show any independence. Into this world, in a village in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, White Lily was born. She had a happy childhood, running and playing, until, at the age of four, she was forced to undergo the painful procedure of foot binding required for all females of her social class. But White Lily has her heart set on more than a traditional role in society, and she enlists the support of her beloved elder brother. Together they devise a plan to defy tradition and convince their father that White Lily’s feet and mind must be allowed to grow.

Book Description
“…and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male shall not be male, and the female shall not be female…then you will enter the kingdom.” From ‘The Gospel of Thomas’ If you were to weave together elements of the story of Jesus, the ‘Song of Solomon’, the atmosphere and feminine magic of a Celtic fairy tale, it might read something like ‘The Garden Where Four Rivers Flow’, the first book in ‘The Passionate Master’ series. Set in biblical times in the enchanted forest of Elnazar, it is a re-imagining of the love story of Mary and Joseph: the song of Rebekah, the weaver, and Heshel, the carpenter. Rebekah, the spider girl, the daughter of Ariadna, her childhood dream to weave the robe of rainbows. Invisible as the wind to her one true love. Heshel, son of the cedars and mortal king of the Fair Kind, his one secret desire to pursue the craft of the carpenter. It is the testimony of the Baal-Azar, the magi from the mountain, of his role in the birth of Yeshua, the Blue Star Spirit. Yeshua, Yeshua, thus named by the wind. Fated to be crowned upon the bitter cross. It is a eulogy heralding the coming of the divine androgyne. ‘Tis the ancient, hidden tale of ‘The Alchemical Wedding’ So listen. Listen. Listen. Listen. To the Voice of the Silence. To the Voice of the Flame. The Prophecy, fulfilled. The Word uttered, proclaimed. For when the red star rises and the blue star descends, when these two have come to be as one, when goat lies with leopard and wolf with the lamb, salvation shall spring forth from the Rock of Horeb.
