The Foretelling is by Alice Hoffman. This is the historical fiction story of Rain, a young Amazon girl coming of age on the steppes of Russia. A child born of pain and sorrow, the daughter of a Queen, a master horsewoman, sister of the bear, Rain struggles to come to terms with her past, her present, and her future. She is touched by Deborah's foretelling and begins to see there is more to life than war and prowess in battle. Will she have the strength to seize her destiny or will she succumb to the harsh life her people have always known? Is it really possible for one young girl to change the future of her people? A wonderful story of overcoming tragedy and learning to trust yourself.
