Dance of the Firewalker: Emily Jacob Mystery, Volume One

Sunny day at the beach... Note in a bottle... Birthday girl... Abduction...
From joy to bewilderment, somewhere out in the western Maine woods, Sabrina awakens within a cabin’s bedroom; kidnapped, confined, and confronting an ailing man named Hendricks who requires her remarkable healing spirit. For this scared thirteen-year-old, inner tenacity becomes her guiding light. And along with her irritating male sidekick Copper, Sabrina is forced to endure ceremonies of sacrifice, constant threats to life and limb, and ultimately faces a shaman who becomes the Walker of Fire.
And following the loss of her husband, mother Emily, using the knowledge of ancient beliefs and practicing the discipline of a ‘spirit-walker’, embarks on a journey to find her precious daughter. Guided by written instructions from Hendricks, she must locate four sacred sites, retrieve the earth elements, and confront a woman who has sworn to tear out her daughter’s hair by the roots.
For both mother and daughter, facing these new challenges will be arduous. But it soon becomes clear that unearthly forces are also at work because the Elders from the Inner World have sent the spirit-guide Inquin to watch over. There is far more in store for these two women, walking a path of uncertainty, a path toward enlightenment.
Steeped in mysticism and shamanic beliefs, I’ve created Dance of the FireWalker following more than forty years of study and six years of participation in Native American 'circles'. Note: The moose scene is a killer!
