Books with title Living in the Mountains

Eight-year-old Molly and her 10-year-old brother, Ralph, are inseparable, in league with each other against the stodgy and stupid routines of school and daily life; against their prim mother and prissy older sisters; against the world of authority and perhaps the world itself. One summer, they are sent from the genteel Los Angeles suburb that is their home to back-country Colorado, where their uncle Claude has a ranch. There the children encounter an enchanting new world - savage, direct, beautiful, untamed - to which, over the next few years, they will return regularly, enjoying a delicious double life. And yet at the same time this other sphere, about which they are both so passionate, threatens to come between their passionate attachment to each other. Molly dreams of growing up to be a writer, yet clings ever more fiercely to the special world of childhood. Ralph for his part feels the growing challenge, and appeal, of impending manhood. Youth and innocence are hurtling toward a devastating end.

In 1920, things will get a bit crazy for those individuals she encounters on her journey on earth.

For millennia, Nakia has always been in the supernatural form for which the GrandMaster spoke her existence into being. While on earth, everything changes for her. The zeitgeist of this journey is much greater than her creature comforts and limited angelic abilities. The very soul and salvation for humanity is on the line. Will Nakia complete the directives given to her by the GrandMaster to help save an entire planet? Or will her own ‘human’ like inhibitions impede the grand purpose to save all of mankind?
