Slipping back and forth between her writer's life as a white woman and her mystical life amongst the native Indian women of northern Canada, Lynn Andrews weaves a wise woman's tale of ageing. As the popular best-selling author now faces her own midlife passage and wrestles with immortality, she finds herself seeing visions of her old nemesis, the evil sorcerer Red Dog, who has seemingly risen from the dead. What does this all mean? Andrews brings her fears and questions to her elder teachers, whom she has informally apprenticed with for many years. This is all vintage Andrews - complete with visions, dreams and lessons from the elders. Lynn V. Andrews takes the reader with her as she goes on inward journeys with the help of the Sisterhood of the Shields, and relates the stories of others. Join her as she is initiated into the Sisterhood and creates her own shield, which will show her the nature of her spiritual path. Follow her to the Yucatan, where the medicine wheel leads her, and she is faced with the terrifying reality of the butterfly tree.
Enter the Dreamtime with her, where she emerges in mediaeval England as Catherine and encounters the Grandmother, who offers to show Andrews how to make her life one of goodness, power, adventure and love.

Lynn Andrews is the author of nineteen books and a pre-eminent teacher in the field of personal development and spirituality.
"I began to tell my story twenty years ago. Except for changes in names and locations, it is true." So begins Lynn V. Andrews's 18th book, Tree of Dreams: A Spirit Woman's Vision of Transition and Change. Andrews, author of Medicine Woman (now in its 40th printing), recounts the continuation of her apprenticeship with the Native American teachers who have been training her in their sacred ways for nearly 20 years. Here, she explains her transition into the second part of life, discussing change, aging and death in an inspiring, spiritual way. (Oct. 1) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
Focusing on transitions in life and the aging process, Andrews, a well-known teacher and writer on shamanism and personal growth, continues her apprenticeship. She candidly describes her own difficulties with growing old and demonstrates how the wisdom of her elder Native American teachers Ruby Plenty Chiefs, Agnes Whistling Elk, and other women in the Sisterhood of the Shields can be applied to the search for meaning in life and death. Readers who use her perseverance and breakthroughs as inspiration will face their own life-changing events with courage. Andrews has crafted a skillfully woven tale that highlights her unique blend of Native American shamanism and New Age ideas. This engaging story will appeal to readers of her 18 previous books (e.g., Medicine Woman) and to other public library patrons interested in shamanism. Elizabeth Salt, Otterbein Coll.
