A white doe running free in the midst of a big city ... was she real, a vision, the shadow of God, even? It depended on who saw her, for she was all thiings to all people, reaching out and touching everyone who caught even a fleeting glimpse of her. To Garth Briscoe, a ruthless, reclusive tycoon, she represented a personal demon, something that had to be destroyed. She was a holy ghost to Chango Gomez, a Chicano gardener. Public relations man Ed Zenkel fell in love the first time he saw her. Angelique, as artist Hugh Carlton IV, called her, stirred his hope for salvation, both creative and personal. Whatever, The White Shadow profoundly altered the lives of them all, pulling them into a web in which the threads of their fates were inexorably criss-crossed. As much a parable as a novel, read it and see if The White Shadow doesn't affect your life too.
