My mom bought this book for me on my Kindle (nice gift!) and said it was a series she read when she was younger, the first of which was published in 1980. It looks as though there are six books total! I have some serious reading to do if I want to keep up with Ayla. (the main character)
Ayla is a cro-magnon human girl who is orphaned in an earthquake and ends up being saved by a neanderthal clan. So this is set in an ancient era and explores her communication, differences, and struggles in growing up completely immersed in a culture foreign to her own. I don't want to give too much away and I do feel like the first book was fairly slow but it was setting up the plot for more drama in the next books!
I'm going to set this series aside for a bit and switch gears into Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. I haven't read
No coke today so far...but I almost stopped on my way home from yoga. yikes...I was ____this close! Sweet Leaf Half and Half it is! (the Arnold Palmer of SLTeas!)
