Time Pebbles

De: Jerry Merritt

Narrado por: Emily Sutton-Smith

Tekla, son of an ancient shaman, loses Ka Li when she is torn from his life by a brutal tribe of Denisovans in a Late Pleistocene kidnapping.

Ka Li escapes but is unarmed and forced to flee across the Bering land bridge where she becomes hopelessly lost in the endless tracts of North America. Only Tekla cares enough to search for her over the years. As Ka Li survives fierce predators and scarce resources, she leaves behind a series of signal cairns to help Tekla find her.

Skipping forward 60,000 years, Helen Ryland, a mid-20th century archaeologist, unearths one of Ka Li’s surviving signal cairns and realizes she has found trace of people who populated the Americas even before the Clovis culture. Helen’s detective work tracking Ka Li’s timeless signals across the Alaskan wilderness now intertwines with Ka Li’s story. As Helen solves the puzzle of the signal cairns she finds universal fame and suffers devastating misfortune. In the end, Helen discovers that science in isolation cannot answer all of her questions for Tekla’s devotion to Ka Li had not died even though 600 centuries had passed.

A very memorable story!

As I started my listen my mind wandered but shortly I could not stop listening! I sat the last 5 hrs. seeing it and being there.haven't been that taken away in many years! My family wonders what have been doing for so long. Their dinner is very late but part of me is still in that story! Thank you so very much!

Loved it

I wish the songs where in it, but otherwise it was amazing. Can't wait for your next book the first two are very well done.

Engaging Love Story

This book does a great job of skillfully weaving two story arcs across vast distances into one. I remained deeply interested in every character not realizing the author was leading me to a surprising yet very satisfying reunion. I'll look for more works from this highly entertaining writer.

A 60 Thousand Year Love Story

I couldn't stop once I had started. it's an archeological mystery: When did the first humans cross from Asia to North America? How dangerous was it? What were the living conditions back then? What is an actual archeological dig site like? But, most importantly, can a love be so strong that it could survive the gulf of 60 thousand years? Well, maybe it isn't possible, but I look across the room at my loved one and wish it were true.

Different!

Took a while to get into the story, but once I did it had me really compelled to finish quickly. Interesting ending!!!
