"5 Stars. . . . A myth expanded into a work of art. . . . A Rib From Eve is beautifully written. Katherine Christensen obviously researched her topic well.

Fans of history and romance will enjoy A Rib From Eve." -Debra Gaynor, ReviewYourBook.com Join our female Celtic ancestors in savage seventh century Gaul during the final taming of the Caucasian tribes. It is an era when pagan conversion to Christianity is at its peak, and the patriarchal Catholic church has gained a strong foothold in the Germanic and English kingdoms. Rapidly, the clergy are becoming fed up with the power and influence these women have over their men.

When she witnesses the savage murder of her Saxon mother for sorcery, scarcely escaping a similar fate, Malgven's mind and spirit shatter. Under the pantheistic practices of her Scotti grandmother, she recovers and flourishes in the wilds of the Saxon territories.
