Synopsis

For the women of SilverShadows, menopause isn't just another stage of life. Their falling estrogen levels reveal their destiny: to become members of an ancient sisterhood of medicine women who develop exceptional mental and physical abilities after menopause. Bound together by changes in their genetic code caused thousands of years ago by a radical mixture of a potent natural herb and a global viral pandemic, this special group of older women must defend our world against the oppressive evil of their counterparts, the Caco. Inspired by how strong, powerful, and wise women are as they age, Helen Jane Chihal's fiction debut is as exciting as it is empowering, creating a fascinating mythology that breaks new ground as it radically changes the landscape of graphic novel-style heroines. On vacation in Las Vegas, Sara Templar has no idea she is about to become one of the most physically and mentally powerful women in the world. Sara's grandmother Contessa was killed by the Caco while transporting a vial of the herb responsible for their powers. Before she died, Contessa was able to hide the cylinder and camouflage its location. Sara soon finds herself in a race against time to find it before the evil Caco, who will stop at nothing to obtain the herb's power. An exciting adventure that turns the usual modus operandi of superheroes on its head, Chihal delivers a wildly imaginative and wonderful tale that gives women of all ages a brand new race of heroes to look up to. Join Sara Templar as she transitions through menopause and discovers that she is a member of one of the most powerful families of SilverShadows in The Silver Threads of Time: A SilverShadows Book, an extraordinary fantasy that is as breathtaking as it is entertaining.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Helen Jane Chihal is a retired gynecologist who specialized in hormonal disorders in women. One of her main clinical interests was menopause and she is certified as a menopause clinician by the North American Menopause Society. As an avid reader all her life, Helen was disappointed in how few adventure or fantasy books had older women as heroes. The positive effect of comic book superheroes on her children as they grew up impressed her, but where were the positive, mythic images for the menopausal woman? Almost two decades ago, she began writing for her own amusement adventure stories featuring the women of SilverShadows, who discover their alternate identities after the withdrawal of estrogen at menopause. Although Dr. Chihal has written medical books on menopause, PMS, and a book for the public on women's health with Nancy Brinker, The Silver Threads of Time is her first full-length work of fiction. She lives with her husband David in Dallas, Texas and has three grown children.
