Seven-year-old Erica stumbles into a mystical place where a mysterious old woman gives her a stone.  A very special stone.  A Clicking Stone.  Striking it against any other stone causes both to flare into incredible brilliance.  Except, not everyone can see the brilliance.  And Erica does not yet know the power of her Stone...

   Morgan moves in next door.  The girls grow up together and one day, the two click stones...

   Knowledge of Erica's gift spreads, creating a worldwide movement of adherents to the illumination power of Clicking Stones.  Still, the question remains:  why do some people see the brilliance and gain energy from it, and some do not?  There is no discernible pattern or reason...

   Throughout all these evolutionary events there is the love between Erica and Morgan -- a love that survives separation, and their loving of other women.  A love of extraordinary intensity and eroticism... a love that transcends the passing years... and, finally, astonishingly, time itself.
