From the Back Cover
Have you wondered what might exist beyond your everyday perception? Psychotherapist Jessica Nagler did, so she walked away from a secure, successful life — a flourishing career, fiancé, a comfortable routine — and set out on a quest to discover true meaning and purpose. She found herself rootless in an unfamiliar and exotic land, beyond the outermost limits of her experience. Moving from one serendipitous encounter to another, eventually finding a Mayan shaman to guide her, she slipped into another culture — and another world. Jessica nearly didn’t return, but she did come back, fundamentally changed. Then she spent three years integrating the journey, redefining her identity, writing the story of her passage — an astonishing adventure that you won’t want to miss.
