Description: Product Description
A chance encounter with a twenty year old turns 93 year old Mia into twenty year old Maya - and sends her to a Prague bursting with creative energy, to a society of artists and artisans filled with the 'holy fire'. A new life as a photographer beckons, but is Maya/Mia just too old and wise to care about art for art's sake?


Amazon.com Review
In an era when life expectancies stretch 100 years or more and adhering to healthy habits is the only way to earn better medical treatments, ancient "post humans" dominate society with their ubiquitous wealth and power. By embracing the safe and secure, 94-year-old Mia Ziemann has lived a long and quiet life. Too quiet, as she comes to realize, for Mia has lost the creative drive and ability to love--the holy fire--of the young. But when a radical new procedure makes Mia young again, she has the chance to break free of society's cloying grasp.
