Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La historia apasionante de una joven que tiene que buscar sus raíces para encontrar su destino, en el apasionante escenario de las tierras mayas y aztecas. Tonina fue un regalo de los dioses: un bebé arropado en una cesta que flotaba sobre un mar que acunaba a la niña al ritmo de las olas. Un verdadero tesoro para sus abuelos adoptivos. Ella destacaba entre los isleños: alta, delgada y rubia, no se parecía en nada a sus vecinos. De modo que Tonina creció con el ferviente deseo de averiguar quiénes eran sus padres y su pueblo de origen. Para ello Tonina emprendió un largo y peligroso viaje que le iba a llevar, en primer lugar, a la tierra de los mayas en busca de una flor, la única medicina que podría curar a su abuelo. Su búsqueda, sin embargo, se convirtió en el inicio de una aventura a través de los bosques de Yucatán, la selva de Guatemala... hasta llegar a la cuna de México. Un viaje durante el cual iba a conocer gentes de costumbres extrañas para ella, pero también un amor tan difícil como poderoso, hasta finalmente descubrir el secreto que ocultaban sus raíces. La crítica ha dicho... «Una novela fascinante, repleta de personajes auténticos y llamativos.» Library Journal

Download or read book Woman of a Thousand Secrets written by Barbara Wood and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bestselling Author of The Blessing Stone and Daughter of the Sun She came to them from the sea, and to the sea they returned her. . . . A story of sacrifice and survival in the New World. Tonina lives an idyllic life on a small island in the Caribbean hundreds of years before Europeans discovered it. But she has always been an outsider among her people. Unlike them, Tonina is tall and lean and light skinned, and her origins remain a mystery. Her adoptive parents had found her floating in a basket in the sea—a sacrifice? A shipwreck? No one knows. When Tonina turns nineteen, her parents know she must return to the sea so that the gods don't become angry with the village for keeping something that is not theirs. Under the guise of finding a medicinal plant, they send Tonina to the mainland, a terrifying place she can't even imagine. They know, however, that they will never see her again. And here is where her adventure begins. It is a tale of survival and sacrifice, of luck, magic, intrigue, and danger, romance and betrayal, an epic filled with ancient lore, tales of bearded white men who sailed to this shore in giant ships, and discoveries of medicinal miracles in faraway places. But most of all, it's the story of one woman's quest to discover where—and to whom—she really belongs. This sweeping story of the undiscovered world before the time of Columbus is Barbara Wood at her very best.

From ancient Israel to Imperial Rome, medieval England to fifteenth-century Germany, the eighteenth-century Caribbean, and the nineteenth-century American West, the destiny of the stone and the history of the world unfold. Each story is full of the betrayals and obsessions of the human heart, and the quests of the human spirit.

Book excerpt: Acclaimed novelist Barbara Wood combines her superb storytelling gifts with medical and historical fact to create the epic adventure of an unusual and gifted young woman seeking her destiny in the ancient healing arts. Born into the tumultuous world of ancient Antioch, Selene is orphaned at birth. But before her father dies, he leaves a puzzling clue to her heritage: she has come from the gods and has a special destiny to fulfill. In the coming years, Selene studies the primitive healing arts with Mera, the healer-woman who adopts her. She learns how to lower fevers by brewing Hecate's Cure from the willow tree, how to apply green mold to an open wound to prevent infection, and most important, how to calm a patient by summoning the inner power of the "soul flame." But on her sixteenth birthday, Selene falls in love with Andreas, a passionate and troubled surgeon. When fate cruelly separates them, Selene's search for Andreas takes her to the great centers of civilization in the ancient world—Egypt, Babylon, and Rome. Desperate to find Andreas, Selene is torn between love and her dreams of healing when a revolutionary vision brings her to the fulfillment of her destiny—and the dawn of modern medicine.
