Maggie Seaver is attempting to make peace with losing custody of her daughter, Angel, in the wake of a break-up with the girl's biological mother, Yoli. But when she receives evidence that Angel has been abused, Maggie kidnaps the child, drives across the border into Baja, and ends up in a spiritual commune outside the southern Baja town of Todos Santos.
During the long drive down the Baja penninsula, and especially during her sojourn in the spiritual community of the Light Beings, Maggie must contend not only with the fear of being apprehended by the police, but also question the degree to which her actions are fueled by concern for her daughter or by the desire for revenge against Yoli. The ailing spiritual leader of the community provides lessons in forgiveness and redemption that will affect a profound change in each of the characters.Season of Eclipse will mark the twelfth book Terry Wolverton has authored--fiction, creative nonfiction, and poetry. These include Embers, a novel in poems, Insurgent Muse: art and life at the Woman's Building, a memoir; and Stealing Angel, a novel. Her most recent poetry collection is Ruin Porn.
Terry has edited fifteen literary compilations, including the Lambda Literary Award winning p;His: brilliant new fiction by gay men and Hers: brilliant new fiction by lesbians. Terry also collaborated with the late composer David Ornette Cherry to adapt Embers as a jazz opera. She moved to Los Angeles in 1976 to join the Feminist Studio Workshop at the Woman's Building, where she worked for thirteen years; she remains active on its Board of Directors. Terry has received a COLA Fellowship from the City of Los Angeles, a Fellowship in Poetry from the California Arts Council, and the Judy Grahn Award from the Publishing Triangle, among other honors. From 1988 through 1997, she taught multiple writing classes at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center, including a workshop for people with HIV/AIDS. In 1997, she founded Writers At Work, a creative writing studio, where she continues to nurture creative talent. Since 2007, she has been Affiliate Faculty in the MFA Writing Program at Antioch University Los Angeles. She also teaches part-time at Cal Arts."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
