When a mysterious old gentleman declares his life-long love for Marion Belle Pond at her funeral, her daughter, Sonia Harrison Jones, realizes there is a lot about her life that she didn't know before. The old man's words inspire her to embark on a journey to rediscover her mother through the people she knew and loved. This true story touches on Percy Pond, the author's grandfather and celebrated frontier photographer who documented the Klondike Gold Rush, the founding of Juneau, and the culture of the native tribes in Alaska. It also introduces Kay Harrison, the author's charismatic father, who was the Managing Director of Hollywood's Technicolor Films in London, Paris, and Rome. Set against against the backdrop of pre-war Japan, the early years of the territory of Alaska, and the drama of World War II, this unique saga shows us history as it plays out in the life of one family. It explores the unpredictability and profound ironies of life, the effect of heart-rending choices with their far-reaching consequences, and the transforming, empowering nature of love and forgiveness.

Summary: A gripping thriller about scientists who want to clone Jesus, opponents who want to stop them, competitors who want to steal the research, and concerned individuals who point out the serious consequences of such an undertaking. Very interesting thoughts about science and Christianity, the origin of the species, and the meaning of life. Fascinating surprise ending. Story line: When linguist Lisa Maxwell goes to the Basque Country to seek the origin of the Basque language, she soon finds herself tangled up with some enigmatic characters in a small mountain village. Who is stealing relics from the major cathedrals in Europe? Who is the physician that flies in by helicopter to examine some little boys, and what does he want from them? What sort of research is being carried out in the state-of-the-art biotechnology laboratory? Soon more questions begin to emerge. Who are the Basques, and why is their language unique? Are they a race apart? What happened to humans after the Fall? What role does Rh-negative blood play here? How do genetics and linguistics combine to unlock the mystery of the origin of humankind? Can creation be reconciled with evolution in a brand new way? Is it possible to clone Jesus? If not, why not? If so, what are the consequences? Sonia Harrison Jones, a PhD from Harvard in Romance Languages, presents some creative, intelligent answers to these questions and many others in this fascinating first novel. What readers are saying: I LOVED it!  For me the test of a good book is that when I'm not reading it I'm thinking about it and trying to figure out when I will be able to get back to it, and that definitely happened with this book. - Julie Graveline, retired Canadian Naval Officer This is a masterpiece!! It was a real gripper. My wife and I almost fought for the computer. There is much of the "intellect apologetics" in the book about the tragedy of using Christianity to gain power. The last chapter of Cloning Jesus, I think, highlights "living apologetics." Great! - Rev. Clarence Vos, pastor and retired professor, Calvin Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan

The plot includes two love stories, topped off by the choir's once-in-a-lifetime performance at the Sydney Opera House, leading to a poignant and uplifting finale. WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: This is a must read. Dr Jones displays great storytelling ability and crafts a tale of suspense, intrigue, and comedy, bundled with romance, sophistication, and existential issues related to self worth and purpose.  -Dr Michael R Lawrence, neuropsychologist, Grand Rapids, Michigan I was intrigued by this novel right from the opening chapter. I was led through a gripping story, beginning with unintentional identity theft and then on to the high seas, with rich characters forging deep connections through serendipity and chemistry. I did not put the book down until I had savoured the epilogue's satisfying revelations. A terrific read! -Janet Manuel, poet and choral singer, Summerville, Nova Scotia
