Synopsis: From the back cover: A long, long time ago when elves and trolls still roamed the earth, a woman at the icy end of the sea yearns to reach the stars, but her broomstick refuses to fly. When a mysterious raven lures her into daunting adventures, she learns that neither ghosts nor monsters are her deadliest adversaries, but the whisperings of her own fears. Fighting her way through her darkest nightmares the woman prevails and becomes who she is meant to be. THE WOMAN AND THE RAVEN is a poetic myth of the importance of the words we say to ourselves, and others. "A story of incantatory power and wistful fantasy." New York Times best-selling author Ellen Tanner Marsh
