A thrill-packed adventure that will take you into the jungle realm of the mysterious Maya and a struggle against their ancient, deadly curse of vengeance.The last place 15-year-old Casey Calhoun expected to spend his summer vacation was lost deep in the jungle with his sister Kelly and best friend, Ben Steele. The secret mission accepted by their fathers' marine salvage company had brought the two families from their Florida Keys home into the realm of the mysterious, ancient Maya where they learn the legend of Ixchel, the Mayan Goddess of the Moon, and the dreadful curse upon anyone taking possession of her golden idol. After the riddle of The-Woman-Who-Walks-On-Water is solved, Casey, Ben, and Kelly are separated from their parents and find themselves alone in a jungle alive with snakes, scorpions, and crocodiles. Their desperate search to find their parents becomes a trek of breath-taking adventure as they face one deadly peril after another: The-Place-Of-Green-Shadows, The-Temple-Of-The-Three-Trials, and the mountain lair of Ah Puch, the Mayan God of Death and the horrors of its Cavern-Of-Vampires. Finally, Casey alone must face the challenge of the mountain's bottomless pit, the entrance to the lair of the Nine-Demons-Of-The-Underworld.
Are you an alcoholic/addict? Do you love one? Need help? From: Part One: My Story I remember when I was in the third grade. I came home one day to find that my older brother, John, had a two-inch gash in his head. It was about one-quarter-inch deep. My mother, who had wielded a croquet mallet Lizzy Borden fashion, had put it there. She had then poured iodine in the wound. I remember my brother saying that he could feel the iodine burning as it slowly cascaded down between his scalp and his skull. I wasn’t surprised, except in the viciousness of this particular incident… This is not your typical recovery feel-good book. My point of view comes from one who has been on the “front lines” all of his life. As an innocent child caught in an abusive family environment, as an alcoholic in early, middle, and late stages, and as a drug and sex addict. I know the progression and self-destruction that inevitably accompanies addiction. I know what it feels like to become willing to do things that I never thought I would ever do to get that next “high” in order to escape from the reality that I had created for myself. There is nothing else that quite compares. I also know the hope and power of recovery. I know the joy of climbing up and out of darkness and into the light of day after years of terrifying descent. I have successfully recovered and I have helped many others to do so, not as an occupation, but as part of my own recovery. I feel that I am in a unique position to help those who are still lost (and their loved ones), provided that they are willing, and to guide them out of the “living hell” that is addiction. I pray that this book will help spread the message of hope to alcoholics/addicts and their families everywhere. C. J. Camp
