Indie READER REVIEW

A NOVEL That ROMANCES THE STONE

Another world is not only possible,

she is on her way. On a quiet day,

I can hear her breathing.

ADVANCE REVIEW

A NOVEL THAT ROMANCES THE STONE

  

Romancing the stone takes on a whole new meaning in this epic tale that opens in a sleepy Texas border town and travels to the ancient Yucatan. Think jade skulls. Think Maya Gods locked in primordial rock. Follow two pairs of lovers whose story reaches into the deep past.

 

The Godma’s Daughters offers masterful storytelling and a colorful cast of characters to love and hate. With breathtaking imagery, the cinematic tale zooms in for a revealing close-up or goes wide-angle for a panoramic dive into a Maya technicolor spectacle. And scene by scene, it uncovers the suppressed herstory of a Maya Goddess, as a grandmother tells a nightly tale of herencia, or heritage, preparing her granddaughter for a journey into the past and a daring rescue.


BONUS! As in Isabella’s White Monkey Chronicles, a key character is a monkey. But instead of a shape-shifting old-world monkey-god, this one is a new-world spider monkey, a spirit animal that likes cupcakes, steals a communion dress, and hitches rides on a burro named Pants-On-Fire. Grab your popcorn! It’s a movie. Grab your seats! It’s an action-adventure romance.
