Query: An inspiring favorite for over 15 years

I first read this book upon its release in 1993 at the age of fifteen. At the time I had no idea this humble paperback would become my favorite book of all time, nor how much depth and influence the metaphorical meaning of Laena's story would have on my own life as I grew. The story of Laena, a young woman guided by visions in a turbulent era of pre-history crosses a perilous, mountainous wilderness to an amazing new land. The book is a fictionalized account of the first people who trekked from the vanished subcontinent of Beringia into North America via a land bridge that existed at the time.Believe it or not, I've been reading this book once or twice a year for over fifteen years (this review has been written in 2010)! That's how much I love this book. I never tire of it because it speaks to a very deep part of me. You may not have the same experience, but surely it is worth one read at least! Charlotte Prentiss is actually author Charles Platt.
