BONNIE NAPOLI WELCOME! |

It all started back in high school, junior and then senior English.
Class often started with Miss Anna Paul writing a phrase on the blackboard. Using that phrase as a starting point, we students had to write for 10 minutes. Usually Miss Paul had to pull my paper out from under my
scribbling pen when time was up. One day after reading my latest prose, she rapped me on the head with a knuckle. "Miss Napoli, you are such a romantic. Someday you are going to be a writer!"
Someday
took a longtime coming. There were two children to raise, a job tending bar, and a return to college for my nursing degree. And while I still wrote, none of it was worthy of publication. But now the children are grown
and gone, and amongst ministering to the sick, renovating an old farmhouse, and creating huge gardens, I write.
"Shadows of the Eclipse" is my first published novel. |

"A shared mystical past haunts a man and a woman who, by all rights, should never meet. Can a love forged by fate survive betrayal, sacrifice ... and death? Shadows
Of The Eclipse captured me from the first page and didn't let me go until the story of Elizabeth and Arakashe was told. Ms. Napoli is one of the best storytellers of our time. I can't wait for her next book." ~~Michele

Her disregard for all suitors labeled Elisabeth Ryan an old maid. But dreams have promised her a future that will rectify a tragedy of some long ago past.
Spring, 1843, she was the lone survivor of an Indian attack on the Oregon-bound wagon train.
His sacred vision prophesied Arakashe's place in history as Crow war chief who would lead his
people to peace with the white man...with an amber-eyed white woman from his far ago past by his side to temper his loathing of the interloper.
But enigmatic dreams and the scheming and
jealousy of others thwarted their passion and their destiny of uniting race and culture, and drove the lovers apart...again.
Captain Aaron Ross, in love with her himself, rescued Elisabeth
from the savages, only to inadvertently deliver her to the dangerous, powerful Blackfoot warrior, Pehta.
Arakashe will risk his own life and all he holds dear, including his people and his
destiny, to reunite with his most precious possession, Elisabeth, and to right the mistakes of two lifetimes... |

"Set in a sometimes savage land of mystery and beauty, SHADOWS OF THE ECLIPSE is a story about lessons learned
over lifetimes of mistakes, and a love that transcends the boundaries of both time and race. With the seemingly effortless skill of a born storyteller, Bonnie Napoli will break your heart and then send it soaring again
in this complex and compelling tale of destiny. While the culture may be foreign to our own, the emotions are achingly familiar, and the spirit that guides this book is one of wisdom and solace."~~LINDA BLESER,
AUTHOR OF ENCHANTED COTTAGE AND THE CHANCE YOU TAKE~~ |
