Leaving
everything behind, Carrie Mullen, a young scientist, travels to the

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.
