Eco Woman is an adventure story full of magic. Its reluctant hero, Maeve, has been waiting for greatness her entire 30 years and has nearly stopped believing it will arrive. But the greatness inside her hasn't died. It has lain dormant, awaiting the kiss of circumstances that will awaken it. Corrupt workers in Maeve's plant created a scam to enrich themselves. When they find out that Maeve, their boss, is on to them, they attempt to murder her. And they almost succeed. She's left for dead on the side of the road, then rescued by three witches who've been watching over her since her birth and have decided to infuse her with magical powers-the Light-so she can take over their centuries old mission. Their time is coming to an end and their power is fading. They must pass the baton to Maeve to save the earth by pulling humanity back from the contaminating precipice humans have driven it to. From the moment she's rescued, this story takes the reader on a rollercoaster journey of self-discovery, self-doubt, derring-do, and supernatural encounters. The corrupt workers are determined to find her and finish her off and they're not lightweights. And Maeve herself is reluctant to shed the mundane life of material ease she's used to and take on such a gigantic life and death endeavor. Does she or does she not? Put on your life jacket, because Eco Woman is going to steer you directly into the storm she's been chosen to face for all of us.

This is a love story: the story of how I learn to love myself. I survived cancer to find myself lost and alone. I had left my partner of 13 years just before the diagnosis. Many people left me after: the new man, some old friends. The only place I found comfort and felt love was when I practiced yoga or was writing and drawing. These skills gave me shelter and enabled me to write and illustrate three emotional support books for cancer patients. I self published them as I was recovering and with two good friends started a non-profit to market the books and to help women with breast cancer. I felt powerful again, creative and filled with a desire to share the realization that losing everything you think is important, like I did with cancer, can help free you to find the things that feed your soul. But all this action after so much sickness was debilitating. I went to Tulum, Mexico for a break and to just stop. There, I felt good for the first time in a long time. "Wouldn't it be great to bring every survivor here, just for a week or so?" I said to my friend as we sat on the beach. That became my dream and then my obsession: a place to bring survivors for rest and recuperation and a place to find myself. I was certain that I had found the cure for cancer: happiness.I shared my dream and people encouraged me. I incorporated the concept into my non-profit and created the mission: to sell my books to give cash grants to patients from the sales and to bring survivors to Mexico. I would do something big.But the man I fell in love was a drug addict and a con. I refused to see it. I was so afraid of losing the opportunity to change my life that I held onto him, bought untitled property with his name on the papers using a friend's money to do so. My plan was to work in the US to fund the building while he managed the project in Mexico. I traveled between Miami where, desperate to escape my past, I had purchased a condo before I met Mexico, Boston for family and doctors, D.C. where I was writing environmental policy papers for the government, Philadelphia where my foundation was supported and then Mexico where I was unknowingly supporting a sub culture of small time crooks. I was genuinely surprised when I discovered the reality that my boyfriend's plan was to rob me of everything. When I woke up and fought to take back my dream, he tried to kill me. Finally, Joanne Fanny Barry, the love queen, was in the middle of narco-trafficers and con artists as she built her dream life. Through a series of misadventures, I faced facts, looked at my addiction to an unreal life based on denial, and left the people who abused me so that I could truly love myself. And I started to build my dream in spite of or because of it all. I learn the language, adapt to the culture without losing my own and build my casita in the jungle as I rebuild myself. I bring survivors, give money to women in need and start to teach yoga as I gradually rise above the baseness and grab that part of paradise that is good: the part that is within yourself.

This is the story of a woman who falls in love in Tulum, Mexico-before the maddening crowds descended and made it a hip destination. Fanny fell in love with Tulum but mistook it to be part of an interesting, dysfunctional and violent relationship with a beach bum she met the day she arrived in 2004. He introduces her to all the wonderful things about Tulum: the pace, the nature, the lifestyle. And, as she falls in love with Tulum-the new feelings, places and experiences-she thinks she's falling in love with him as well. He begins to control her and help her move her life from straight-laced Boston to a pre-discovered Tulum: savagely beautiful, raw, amazing and intense. Before electricity, before hip cool restaurants and people, before it was the tourist destination that it is today. But as her relationship gets increasingly abusive and achieving her dream life in Tulum increasingly impossible, the question becomes: how can she leave? In this wonderful story of love and discovery, Fanny Barry conjures the magic of a place that enticed her to abandon the secure life of a professional on the rise to start anew in a jungle hideaway on a beach she thought was worth dying for, or at least worth dying on. She lets go of her traditional life and jumps into the deep end with this man and this place. Her story is riveting and captures the essence of a paradise that is quickly fading. Tulum 12 years ago, before Johnny Depp, before Meg Ryan, before all the hipsters could hack it, Fanny built herself a little bungalow in the jungle with no electricity where she could practice yoga, detach from hostile men, ant, and scorpion invasions while she healed from breast cancer treatments, lost loves and opportunities. She turned her life upside down and inside out and came out on the other side of Tulum: at the beach, alive and willing to share her story.
