Legends of the Swamps

Book 4 in the: Legends of the Swamps: series."'De pat'way to true healin' ain't always 'de easy one; in fact, sometime... sometimes, it's 'de hardest one of all. But for a body to have 'dat healin', it's necessary to travel 'dat pat'."Uncle Frank never spoke these exact words to Julien - or the others - but his implications were all too clear. The Alligator King - and Julien's search for him - was elusive, at best. But Julien felt that if he didn't continue his quest, his hunt for this being, then his own spiritual healing would never come. And he was right - Uncle Frank knew it as much as Julien felt it.His exact words to Julien were those of advice, but not direct instruction, and Julien would have to search out the direction he was being led in for himself. His dreams, his visions and his waking, walking nightmares all pointed down the same path - that which would bring peace to his troubled spirit and rest to his weary soul.During the course of his search, Julien - and those with him - would purchase much more than they had bargained for in the beginning - but was it worth it? Of course it was. There were events in the lives of post-Civil War heroes, of daring adventurers and sly devils dressed as men. There were Indian secrets and tribal customs. There were ocean voyages and homelands left behind.Healer is about being bold enough, and brave enough, to do the things required at the time of need, and accepting truth as truth.
