The Tree of Life: Book 1

Book 1 of The Tree of Life starts here and stands ready for your enjoyment.
If you've already read the whole thing, I thank you. Any comments or question would be appreciated.
I'll be taking a break from posting here in the hopes that I get some input from the "masses" (all two of you) that I can apply to the next two books (or, if sufficiently compelling, Book 1).
In the meantime, so as to not leave you too wanting, I'll give you a bit of a preview of "things to come".
If you've not yet read Book 1, STOP HERE.
Did you stop?
Okay ... I warned you.
---------------------- Spoiler Alert --------------------
In Book 2, six years have passed and things have settled down for Catherine and Jessica. Jessica, however, is making some startling discoveries about herself and her connection to the world around her. Things are no less interesting for the Danann family, especially for Richard, now a young man. However, as they both separately explore what they can do on their own, they may, together, destroy what has taken centuries to build.
