The Shaman's Gift
by Lee Fishman
Genre: Ecological Thriller, Women's Fiction
Leaving everything behind, Carrie Mullen, a young scientist, travels to
the Central American country of Belize to study with Don Rodrigo, one of
the last Mayan healers still practicing the old ways. At his side,
Carrie learns the secret healing powers of plants, but when her aging
mentor’s health starts to fail, she must move on. As her finances
dwindle, she meets an expat tech millionaire who promises a chance to
use what she’s learned. When he offers laboratory space to do research,
she signs on. With the help of Don Rodrigo, Ronnie, an ex-soldier with PTSD, finds
relief in an ancient ayahuasca tea ceremony as Carrie sets up a
therapeutic haven. But instead of using her talents to benefit others, Carrie finds
herself caught in a web of conflicting and dubious schemes.
Lee Fishman arrived in Philadelphia as a college student, fell in love
with city living and stayed. Even after traveling to Italy, Greece,
France, Holland, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Turkey, England, Belize,
Guatemala, Columbia and other beautiful countries she still can't think of
anywhere else she'd rather live. OK, maybe Paris.
Fascinated by ancient civilizations, Lee dreamed of being an
archaeologist. As a student, she spent time at digs and worked in a lab
piecing together pottery shards from the ancient ruins at Tikal. Many
trips to Central America, rekindled her fascination with the Maya culture
and inspired her to write The Shaman's Gift.
