This novel of awesome beauty and power is a moving saga about people, relationships, and the boundaries of love.
Through Jean M. Auel’s magnificent storytelling we are taken back to the dawn of modern humans, and with a girl named Ayla we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world they shared with the ones who called themselves The Clan of the Cave Bear.
Besides the book there was a movie in the 80's starring Daryl Hanna (Kill bill).
Totally Amazing!! Every Woman Should read it!!

My name's Lisa.I'm 17.My mom died two years fa from cancer and my dad's somewhere in the world of wonders.
I ran away from home three months after my mom pasted.My dad changed after his wife died.He got più violent and wasn't as friendly.I grew tired of his crap.So my simple solution was to run away.Be free.
I found a house in the woods of Colorado and decided to call it mine.It was all boarded up.But i fixed it up with the money I took before I left.
Of course the money wouldn't last forever so i got a job at the closest SPCA.A job that i wouldn't have to go to college to have.Walking the dogs.I figured that would pay enough,at least for now.
Then my adventure started.An adventure so big to last ones life.The one who changed my view of life.
