Jack's life consisted of new schools, in new towns, with the same old problems. The pattern continued until he saw Ana deep in the woods. Through Ana, Jack developed a keen interest in learning who he was and where he came from, his ancestors. "The best way to learn about your ancestors is to put yourself in the same environment they were in. It isn't enough to know what they did. If you really want to know them, you need to learn about what shaped them into who they were." Those were Ana's words. Her death left Jack with the realization that he knew little of this amazing woman who was his adopted mother. The first step of Jack's quest takes him to the last place she visited before his adoption, the island of Haiti. New friends, unexpected events, and the island itself give Jack a greater understanding of Ana and ultimately himself. Come with Jack as he begins his Journey.
Review
This was an interesting book, to say the least. It's really hard to put into words what I want to say in a review. It's like nothing I've ever read before. Not in a bad way.
I had seen the author posting on the facebook page, and I became curious and looked up the book. Then I did something I haven't done in a while... I bought the book and started reading it. I'm used to getting review copies of books, so that in itself should say something. It definitely stood out for me.
The message of this book was awesome, and it opened my eyes to some things I have been overlooking. That is the biggest reason I highly recommend this book.
There is a character, Ana, she is the type of person that should exist more in the world. She was such a motivation. I was pretty impressed by a lot of what was going on in the story.
If I had to make a complaint, it would be that I felt the story could have been more drawn out in some parts. It would have helped give it more of an emotional connection.
This is a quick read, less than 200 pages, and nothing like I expected. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Addition
After reading the book, I discovered that a percentage of the profits will be donated to someone who had a character created after him in the book. You can learn more about it and find out how to receive a signed copy of the book here:
