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 explores the rain forest as she 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 plant research, she signs on. But what does this slick-talking intruder have in mind? The goal of natural healing with plants bumps up against a desire for corporate gain.Still, with the help of Don Rodrigo, Ronnie, an ex-soldier with PTSD, finds relief in an ancient ayahuasca tea ceremony and Carrie works to 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.

Even after traveling to Italy, Greece, France, Holland, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Turkey, England, Guatemala, Columbia and Belize. She still can’t think of anywhere else she’d rather live. OK, maybe Paris.
As a student, fascinated by ancient civilizations, she spent time at digs and worked in an archeology lab piecing together pottery shards from ancient ruins at Tikal. Many trips to Central America, rekindled a fascination with the Maya culture and inspired her to write The Shaman’s Gift
