I found "Light" an extremely interesting book that kept my attention throughout. Writing about a phase in our world's history, of which there are only cave drawings, provides an excellent setting for the book, as it gives us an insight of what life was probably like as our ancestors were not only surviving, but also evolving.A highly recommended book for anyone who likes "extremely" ancient history and a love to learn more about what it was like to live in a culture and climate that was in constant change.
This book could be set to music -

The minute you sit down and start this book, you can slip into the story. Though the setting is farther back than I've ever even dared to imagine, it grounded me to look around and think more about the possibility of what eternity is. To me it didn't undermine what I believe the story of creation to be; it only has expanded it's possibilities and helped me to realize the unlimited power our awesome Creator has and is. Read it with friends! Talk about it!
The Light at the End of the World
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
What could a woman in the 21st Century learn from another female who lived over 10,000 years ago? Perhaps more than you might suppose. Lorraine Dopson has captured the heart and spirit of modern day woman in a compelling story of adventure of a spirited female who lived in a tribal community before recorded time began. This well-written novel is a must-read for those who yearn to imagine their earliest beginnings.
This is a wonderful book !

Lorraine Dopson's "The Light at the End of the World" is a great work of fiction. I believe that some day it will become a classic in women's literature. The dialogue is engaging and it is hard to put the book down. The book is well researched and shows a great deal of insight into human nature, as one might expect from a writer with a PhD in counseling and guidance. The story takes place 12,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age. I highly commend Dr Dopson in choosing not to dumb down the dialogue. This book presents a fascinating view of a world before patriarchy. It is a spiritual book that is devoid of dogmatic religion. The characters are colorful, the storyline is engaging, the drawings by the author are excellent, and the print is easy to read. I would recommend this book to anyone
Wonderfully researched book

What a page turner, Jean Auel look out you have just been blown out of the water. What a refreshing look at how the earth has evolved. How religion has evolved. A refreshing look at the beginning of religion and how things do seem to come full circle. Human nature and the earth's evolvement is all here. Our hero Thistle's age old advise is as good now as it was then. I can't wait for the next book from this author. Late at night as I watched the hours fly by I couldn't put this book down. O'Neal Gear fans and Auel fans are in for a real treat with this one.
