It gives the reader an unparalleled view of the world and humanity through the use of natural and ancient religious symbolism and is chocked full of colorful representations of nature and myth.
The Children of Eden is a series of books about the life experiences of Quinn Cerra. The story begins in Brazil and the Amazon Rain Forest where she is drawn into an expedition to search for a legendary artifact. Her journey takes her and her new friends through a maze of twisting, turning plots and kidnapping and murder are the least of her worries. She must also come to grips with her own feelings and her own past. Will she learn to trust again?
The ending of The Heart of the Earth is a plot twist that not even the characters in the story saw coming. The second book in the series, Tomb of the Wildman, continues Quinn's story, but the book is about a character that was introduced in the prologue of The Heart of the Earth. This character goes by many different names, including Wildman of the Woods. The book revolves around the mystery of who the Wildman is and also introduces several new characters. The third in the series, The Gateway to Eden is the epic finale of Quinn's story. I don't want to give too much away about this book, but suffice to say that there will be many more revelations and plot twists and when you get to the end, you will be introduced to a whole new way of seeing the world and as you begin to think back over the epic story of THE CHILDREN OF EDEN, you will begin to wonder.

She is invited to go on an expedition to a mysterious village that ties in with her research into the prehistoric colonizing of the Americas. But when she gets there she learns that the villagers have been waiting for her for a very long time and that she has to finish a quest that was started thousands of years earlier. She learns that the fate of the entire planet lies in the success or failure of this quest.
