    In OPHELIAS GHOST (set in the American Southwest in 1958) Eva, an anthropologist in her mid-30s, disappears from her campsite in the Canyons of the Ancients. As local tracker Joe Hill searches for her, the story weaves together ancient Puebloan cultures, the Art of Memory, UFOs, Einsteins relativity, parallel universes, and a question Shakespearean scholars have debated since 1598-Can we know if weve truly seen a ghost?Now, 25 years earlier in FALL OF 33, from the window of a train, 12-year-old Eva looks back--observing, associating, remembering the fall of 1933, her last twenty days on her familys farm nestled in Virginias Blue Ridge Mountains.With her parents Doc and Leah, Eva rides the train west, to the Century of Progress Worlds Fair in Chicago, across the Plains, and on to their new home in Django, Colorado. With Billy, she finds her first young love, learns about her familys ghostly past, and discovers mysteries about herself. Grandfather Poppy prepares her for life-changing journeys as he relates the stories of her familys Indian and mystical ancestry in Virginia, dating back to Shakespeares time and before.While inventing new games, exploring the woods around their farm, and joining family and friends in traditional social gatherings in 1933 rural Virginia, Evas experiences unveil secrets of the past, present, and future. The darkness of this period--economic depression, drought, and burgeoning eugenics--is balanced by the shining potential of the human imagination.
