Same Difference

There are some challenges associated with writing a book about someone who lived thousands of years ago. Their food choices were limited, transportation was slow, and all clothing was laboriously hand made. Housing was similar to ours in many ways, though generally smaller for the poor and larger for the rich. How did they suvive without central air conditioning? As far back as recorded history exists, makeup and jewelry were worn—equally popular or more so among men than women. While the external lives of the ancients were quite different from ours, the inside hearts and minds were the same then as now. Love, hate, faith, deceit, honor, sacrifice, hope—the feelings that make life worth living; the betrayals that break our hearts—those endure unchanged across the ages.
