In this his third novel Dr. Milton endeavors to make the titles possessed by all women���Maiden Mother Crone���discernible. His story concerns a triad of tensile lives a trinity of goddesses dipped from the same hot whorled gene pool but forged by distinctly different environments. The result is a cautionary tale replete with psychological sociological and mystical insights related to child abuse cancer and clairvoyance.  <br>The 'Maiden'���precocious and obviously neglected���provides the storyteller's voice. Thwarted in her attempts to gain care and affection her abuse is reported with momentous consequences. <br>When Llyn���the 'Mother'���is told by two different Oncology experts We have nothing more to offer she retreats to a childhood belief: High Mountains are mystical magical and healing. <br>In the background a fanatical 'Crone' cruelly and sadistically cajoles from an unassailable position. <br>On the journey to the summit of the highest mountain in North America���Alaska's mighty Mt Denali���extraordinary triumphs dreadful disasters and intense meditations on mortality are revealed. Throughout the story explanations are disclosed which ache with a wisdom that can only be understood by those who have been there and earned the right. <br><br>Dr. Robert Milton is a graduate of the University of Southern California's Clinical Psychology program. He has authored six books including three novels available on Amazon.com   <br>While his world travels and interests reveal a kaleidoscope of themes his curiosity recently led him to neuro-science and religion particularly mysticism which is touched upon in this novel and his recent non-fiction book Your FLEXXIBLE Brain published last year. Currently he lives in Southern California with his dog an Ozzy Shepherd named Mr. Dugan. He can be contacted at www.robertmiltonphd.com
