This is Kay Whitaker`s spellbinding account of her `reluctant`
apprenticeship to Domano and Chea Hetaka, two charismatic
shamans from the Amazon Basin who come to teach her -- a
young homemaker -- to be a Kala Keh nah seh, a `builder of
webs of balance,` and to hand down the ancient wisdom of their
people. In spite of her doubts and fears, Whitaker finds the
balance and harmony she was destined to know.
KAY CORDELL WHITAKER lives in Oregon.
