Publisher's Synopsis
The Planting Rite, Kip Parker's first novel, is set in pre-patriarchal Europe. This unique tale of an all women's tribe facing life-altering decisions bespeaks a time when women were free to be strong and capable, independent and resilient. This is a tale of clever, competent, joyful women whose lives are neither easy nor free of conflict, but their sense of safety and their overt strength shine through making this a delightful read for women in particular and anyone who would like to experience a time before the dominance.
