“Once again, Kathleen O’Neal Gear has brought alive with extraordinary vividness and realism the lives of the first Americans in her splendid novel, It Wakes in Me. I read this dramatic and haunting novel in one sitting. Gear is more effective than any time-machine in transporting the reader back to the vast, beautiful, and unspoiled world of prehistoric North America.” —Douglas Preston, New York Times bestselling author of Tyrannosaur Canyon and coauthor of The Book of the Dead
