A story of mystery and suspense set in the dark and foreboding forest of Brazil. Pamela’s entire existence was plain brown, from her eyes and hair to her solitary life in Iowa as a sixth-grade school teacher, that is until the devious textbook salesman Charles offers her the trip of a lifetime to South America. Upon arriving, Pamela is quickly led into the depths of the rain forest and abandoned. After a strange tribal ritual with the natives she finds herself not only lost and hunted but face to face with the deep inner turmoil of her past. Just when she thinks she cannot bear anymore, Pamela begins to notice subtle changes taking place in both the world around her and in her own abilities. Little does she know the extent of these changes, the significance they will bring or the lengths her pursuers will go to capture her. Driven further than she ever thought possible, Pamela must not only survive her extraordinary circumstances but also embrace her true identity. Andrew’s legs were cramping.
