An irresistible odyssey through time, love, fear, betrayal and laughter... this spellbinding true-life adventure introduces you to remarkable people and places... exiled Tibetan Lamas, a forty room castle in the heart of France, midnight Grunion hunts on Malibu Beach, lunch with Saudi Princes in the Bahamas. Meet mystics and Greek gods, Mario Andretti and rocket scientist Werner von Braun. In Africa see a lone giant bull elephant glow in a sienna coat. Surprise lions prowling on a lush golf course, and swim in the crystal waters of the Seychelles with a giant rainbow octopus. Learn that Forgiveness in its Aramaic origins means to cancel, untie or let loose... and has nothing to do with letting others off the hook for their offenses. The author's rich descriptions are sure to stir your senses...yet chill you with the heartache that mars the beauty of these romantic settings. You will laugh and you will cry... what more can you ask of a book?
