| About the Book
In the midst of a fascinating plot—involving
crystal mines, hope, passion, ambition, and pain—lie exciting
parallels between Biblical passages and science. A young woman is
guided to an exotic region of Brazil and receives these revelations
from a mysterious source. For her, the experience is at once
exciting and painful, and it ultimately enables her to resolve the
conflict she feels exists between religion and science.
The story takes place on the very farm owned
by the author, and the book’s map indicating the locations of crystal
mines is real. In addition to images, the book contains boxes
featuring detailed technical information that pertains to the content
of the story and that may enhance the understanding of some readers.
The novel’s plot is based on the author`s own
experience as a crystal miner and on stories told about the farm by
its oldest owners. This truth is filtered through the creative lens of
the author to create a kind of mystical science-fiction.
