If you lean toward the metaphysical and love an adventurous romance novel every once in awhile, Lanigan's latest may tickle your fancy. The bestselling author of Romancing the Stone and Jewel of the Nile stretches her wings into the Book Industry Study Group's newly designated genre of "visionary fiction" with Wings of Destiny. Five generations follow a predestined path starting when the sole member of the fifth generation visits a member of the first in a shimmering vision to let her know what to do so that the fifth can be born to achieve an important goal! Each generation communicates with the following one from the great beyond, leading them to fulfill appointed destinies. From the 18th century to the 20th, in Jamaica, North Carolina, San Francisco, and Peking, the plot twists and turns in a sinister and steamy saga of self-discovery laced with New Age aphorisms. --P.
