Your books served me as a "coming-of-age" series for me through my adolescent and teenage years.  The story of Ayla that has stayed close to my heart is from Valley of the Horses after she was disowned by her clan, she fought to survive.  The stories you created when Ayla had to start from scratch were intriguing because often times the process to make baskets and tools were told step-by-step.  It was easy for me to envision myself as Ayla during her journey and life through the ice-age.   Thank you, Jen
