***WINNER*** International Book Award Visionary Fiction "...lyrical masterpiece...page turner..." C.S. Holmes, IndieReader Highest Ranking "...a superb conjuring act." Elizabeth Cunningham, author, The Maeve Chronicles "...masterful storytelling." BJ Austin, Veteran Radio Journalist "It is never too late to change the past." M???hkina A'Chimal, Medicine Woman The Godma's Daughters is the memoir of a time traveler - it is a love story, a shaggy burro story, a tale of border crossings, a PaperClan tale. Part Mayan myth, part hipster stream-of-modern-day-life, part love letter to this beleaguered planet. It is a tale of two cities, one a dusty Texas border town, one a dazzling ancient Maya metropolis. With unforgettable characters - some despicable, some lovable, including a charming burro named Pants-on-Fire, plustwo grandmothers with shamanic powers, and two pairs of young lovers whose stories reach deep into the Maya past. Two cousins, Mocheela and Liliana, learn that their accidental meeting of Junio and Zack on a Trescabras playground was no accident. Raised in a sleepy border town by a grandmother who fills their heads with Maya tales, the teenaged girls gradually realize that their love stories are playing out in another, more dangerous world. That world and the magical Maya story their grandmother tells contain a shocking secret - one of the four friends is destined for human sacrifice. Two grandmothers collaborate across time to stage a dramatic rescue. Both are powerful medicine women, shamans of the PaperClan. Both serve the Maya Godma, Ixmuk???hne. One lives in the here-and-now in the Texas border town, Trescabras. One lives in the now-and-then in the ancient Maya city of Yax Tok. She is the first female shaman, the rebel Maya Ixaman. She has dialed up the future, in order to change the past. Now everything depends on granddaughter Mocheela and what happens in the deeps of a God-haunted natural pool in the Yucatan. There is more at stake than a PaperClan bloodline and the destinies of the lovers. A power shift among the ancient Maya Gods could signal the return of the Godma and the rewilding of planet Earth. ***A Novel that Romances the Stone*** "Romancing the stone takes on a whole new meaning in this epic tale that opens in a sleepy Texas border town and travels to the ancient Yucatan. Think jade skulls. Think Maya Gods locked in primordial rock. Follow two pairs of lovers whose story reaches into the deep past. The Godma's Daughters offers masterful storytelling and a colorful cast of characters to love and hate. With breathtaking imagery, the cinematic tale zooms in for a revealing close-up or goes wide-angle for a panoramic dive into a Maya technicolor spectacle. And scene by scene, it uncovers the suppressed herstory of a Maya Goddess as a grandmother tells a nightly tale of herencia, or heritage, preparing her granddaughter for a journey into the past and a daring rescue. BONUS! As in Isabella's stunning first novel, White Monkey Chronicles, a key character is a monkey. But instead of a shape-shifting old-world monkey-god, this one is a new-world spider monkey, a spirit animal that likes cupcakes, steals a communion dress, and hitches rides on a burro named Pants-On-Fire. Grab your popcorn! It's a movie. Grab your seats! It's an action-adventure romance." B.J. Austin, Veteran Radio Journalist
