THREE STORIES OF LOVE An Arthurian romance set in a modern city...a lover who finds solace in the legend of an ancient ash tree...a woman much loved by her husband and children who hears voices and is afraid she is going mad. Legend claimed King Arthur himself helped the hero Culhwch meet the demands of the giant Ysbadadden so as to win the hand of his beloved Olwen. Was history repeating itself? Cully Logan wondered, when he met the ethereal Olwen in small city graveyard, only to see her slip away from him into the crowded streets. "Perhaps we were destined to meet, like our namesakes" she tells him, and laughs. Perhaps we were, Cully thinks, as he searches for her. They meet again in a place he never dreamed she could be. "Yggdrasil was a very ancient ash tree and according to legend it was the tree of the Universe. It is said that all ash trees are its children and a source of rebirth and healing." So George Symons learns from Juliana when he comes to her home to help her father puzzle out a bad investment in Belize. The house is a sprawling, somewhat isolated place near the sea. Juliana is enchanting, and he feels he has gone under her spell. She takes him to a massive ash tree and bids him sit under it with her, and tells him of its legend. She becomes his reason for living, and when she is taken from him, he is sure that he has nothing to live for. For Jen Wakefield each day is an unknown. Her husband promises her they are safe, and her love for him and her children, Maggie and Sam, sustains her. For a little while she has been free of the voices in her head. Now they have come again. What was in her control now, she wondered? The slow hours of keeping house and the planting of seeds and the walks on the dunes were what she loved. Would she lose it all?
