A Time For Peace by Cheryl Madeleine Lodico Just a few months after the horror of September 11, 2001, Winona O'Donnell, in the company of six close friends and relatives, embarks upon a search for Shangri-la, the spiritual haven, mentioned in James Hilton's Lost Horizon. Sheltered by the Kun Lun Mountains and governed by a high lama and lamasery, this utopia becomes an obsession to Winona and the others. Does the group come across the actual model for this Far Eastern utopian society along their spectacular journey to parts of China, Tibet, Bhutan and Pakistan, or are their findings even more personally invasive and self-revealing? In her latest novel, A Time For Peace, Cheryl Madeleine Lodico follows in microcosm the all-too-human quest for truth and self-discovery.
