SACRED GROUND

After an earthquake damages a rich area of California, a sacred cave containing human remains is found dating back at least 1500 years. As archaeologist Erica Tyler races to discover the identity and way of life of the Native American tribe whose artifacts are left there, Jared Black, the member of a Native American Commission, seeks their living descendents. Gabrielle de Cuir tells the tale of each discovery and the mythical or historical story behind why each piece was left in the cave. De Cuir's soft voice clearly enunciates the Indian and Spanish words, disrupting the flow of the engaging narrative. What Tyler and Black discover about the Native American tribe adds a nice twist to this romantic tale of past and present. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 02]
