In PRIMAL WHISPERS, Kate Cochran trades a successful Hollywood career for marriage -- then finds she is too late to pursue the golden ring of motherhood. Struggling to redefine her self-worth, she returns to writing, a link to her past she can pursue within the self-imposed boundaries of her marriage. While awaiting the fate of a movie deal for her screenplay, three people disrupt Kate's life with secrets that will shake her very core. First, a beloved childhood playmate, Becky Madison, resurfaces after a puzzling twenty-year absence. Second to appear is Kate's ex-lover, Martin Kelly. He presses Kate to help unite him with his daughter, Lily, who does not know he exists. His revelation of a daughter stirs Kate's longing for children and inflames her lingering grief over the selfish choices of her past. His appearance also awakens the electrifying attraction she once felt toward him. Kate's third visitor is the nubile coed, Lily, with whom Kate forms a bond that changes all of their lives. Emotional entanglements propel the characters from the wilderness of Colorado's Rocky Mountains into the volatile demands of Hollywood, the romance of San Francisco, and the captive allure of a solitary beach.
