Publisher Description
In the third volume of the Ancient Tahiti series, Tepua returns to her heart's home only to discover that a stranger has come, overthrowing traditions and deposing the high chief. All who would oppose him have been driven away or killed and war has found a home in Tahiti. Tepua, though, is carrying the seed of a new beginning, a child she has been forbidden to bear—and she will do whatever she must to protect the child and the future of her people.
Child of the Dawn is a must-read for fans of Jean M. Auel's The Clan of the Cave Bear, Linda Lay Shuler's She Who Remembers, and other novels set among pre-historic cultures.

Good Finish
Several times while reading this trilogy I was tempted to dismiss the series as not so strong attempt at Earth's Children or She Who Remembers. The plots, while complex, to me seemed slightly transparent and the atrocious unchecked misspellings made me think of the work as amateur.
The proofreading has much improved, though not enough, but the story telling and attention to historical, physical and emotional detail is first rate. There is even a surprise hero that I never saw coming. I'd like to see more by this author, perhaps from another publisher. All that is needed is some cover art and some better editing to make this the kind of book that you want to see the movie of, but you hope you don't because it would never be as good as the book.
