This book chronicles a turning point in my life, a moment when I decided to turn against the current and move in the opposite direction of social expectations and my own conditioned fears. Its a story of adventure that leaves behind the hustle and bustle of New York City, winds it’s way to South America through the tribal magic of the Amazon jungle before exploring the Incan legacy of Peru’s Sacred Valley. I wrote this book to share that it’s possible to break away from time-bound limitations and leave behind the grip of the past. We can all take the first step to embrace this extraordinary life in all its darkness and beauty- beyond the land of shadows.
