Book Synopsis
A hidden, sacred canyon. Eight women. Twelve centuries. And a mystical song that connects it all. This is the layout of Robert DeMayo's new novel, "The Sirens of Oak Creek", a gripping tale that intertwines local myths with historical facts and the author's vibrant imagination. The story is also about the different people who passed through Arizona's magical Oak Creek Canyon over the centuries: Ancient hunter-gatherers, Mayan visitors, Spanish conquistadors, early American settlers and modern-day seekers of bliss. They all will have to face their truth in this remote high-desert canyon. "The Sirens of Oak Creek" is a meditation on the power of immaterial realms, and of nature itself, as perceived through the eyes of these women.
