The fire that ate the mountain - A story of prehistoric times (Cave Men- Neanderthal Book 1)
When did a man first utter the words - “I love you†- to a woman? How far back into the distant murky past must we go to find the exact moment when a man first held a baby in his arms and felt that the deep emotional bonding of a man for a helpless newborn? When did prehistoric man & woman start thinking and acting like a family?
Anbessa (Amharic for lion) and Umfazi (Zulu for woman) come from vastly different backgrounds. He was raised in a strong matriarchal society, while Umfazi grew up under the sternest of patriarchal control. Their diametrically differing upbringings cause severe disagreements concerning nearly every aspect of their day to day existence. However, after the birth of the baby, Caraga (Amharic for moon glow on water), they struggle to overcome their differences for the sake of the tiny little girl.
Stranded alone, without the possibility of help, the three fight to exist and survive in a hostile world. As Caraga slowly grows from a helpless infant to a young girl, Anbessa and Umfazi begin to form a strong emotional attachment to each other. Those feelings intensify and mature until one day Anbessa holds Umfazi in his strong arms and proclaims what his heart has been telling him.
Watching his precious Caraga mature is extremely hard on him, He wants to shield her, protect her, and keep her from danger. He sees her maturing and Anbessa finds that his feelings toward her are mixed.
Caraga loves and idolizes her “Dada†but she is maturing into a young woman and her need to separate herself from him, to find her own identity, intensifies until there is open conflict.
