The Valley of Horses (Earth's Children #2) »

Never has the Cro-Magnon era been so exciting. With her bestselling The Clan of the Cave Bear, Jean Auel singlehandedly founded a new genre, The Pre-Historical Novel. Auel s Earth s Children series, which combines rich characterizations with scrupulous research, has earned her an international following.

Ayla leaves the safety of the Clan who raised her and sets out alone on an epic journey of discovery. A hostile land awaits her, and her need for human companionship and love remains unfulfilled.
