Dancing with the Yumawalli

You hold in your hand a murky slice of paradise-the Caribbean beyond white sand beaches and palm trees. Dancing With the Yumawalli is a conversation with a slate of diverse characters, colloquial in the tradition of sitting next to a fire, and listening to voices talking about death, superstition and human growth. Do shipbuilders practice human sacrifice to give vessels souls? Look through the eyes of the teenager narrator and see for yourself. In Dancing With the Yumawalli, you will be required to decipher a treasure map laced with trace elements of:

Voodoo
Sex
Prejudice
Thalidomide
Leprosy
Ayahuasca
A journey into the heart of the Amazon
A yachtsman sinking his vessel for insurance money.

Come on in. Surrender to the magical spells cast by this author through language as captivating as the islands.
