About the Book

Annie has a mountain of misinformation to conquer as she stumbles into life and learns to deal with her physical and spiritual self. She is thrust into marriage and parenthood in a time when women can't trust the advice of their mothers-any older women. Her baby boomer generation has been freed by the pill. She must define herself as the first of a new breed of women. Sex is an invasion. Love an obligation. Parenthood a guilt-trip. She fights for her children's education and learns the appalling truth about public education. Annie bares her soul and takes us on a voyage through life's quests. You'll love this book because you have shared personally or as a mate-the same search for meaning.


About the Author

Descry’s works range from mysteries set on the Colorado Plateau and the Sea of Cortez, to serious studies of human dynamics.

"I do, I observe, I listen. I write in the most candid way possible. I research. I put as much accuracy in my novels as I can. My characters are composites. I don’t expose family secrets or those of people I love, but I deal with real issues. At heart I’m a teacher."

Descry was born in Colorado and now lives in Prescott, Arizona with his wife and two sons. His background in education, archaeology, business, travel, and adventures of all kinds, comes through in his writing. Few authors have such a rich and varied experience base to draw from. He has been called a Renaissance Man, a Social Commentator, a Teacher’s Teacher. He’s been a thorn in the side of the educational status quo for forty years.

Descry is currently researching a book focused on the Inupiaq Eskimos in Alaska and the dynamics of their land above the arctic circle.

The variety of his writings is evident in:

Raven’s Chance, a study of insanity and the paranormal. A novel about a woman...an archaeologist gone mad...and her experiences with morphic fields and travel through time and other minds. A unique and exciting book you’ll read and reread. One of the more challenging works of our time.

The Spirit of the Estuary, is a history-mystery told through the life of a murdered Seri Indian woman. It is set in the northern Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) region of Mexico, and gives the reader a spectacular view of the northern coast and the Colorado River Delta. Reviewers describe it as a work of art and education.

The Spirits in the Ruins, is a history-mystery which challenges the reader’s detective abilities as Arnie Cain attempts to solve the century old murder of a Native American leader. Descry provides insights into the illegal trade in Anasazi grave goods, and a previously untold history of the Ute Mountain Ute Indian people. The first positive Ute history written.

The Spirit of the Sycamore, is a tantalizing and complex history-mystery that explores discord and harmony in Sedona, Arizona, which is one of the Planet’s important spiritual energy centers, and one of the Earth’s most beautiful places. Sycamore is a study of a unique Arizona town that attracts rabid developers, greedy public officials, retirees, and seekers of spiritual magic and solace.

Descry is emerging as a writer who, rather that adopting one style and a formula, uses different ways of communicating. Each of his books is presented through a different voice. His subject matter is as varied as his life and interests.
