The Shaman and the Stranger

Following a terminal diagnosis, a synchronistic chain of events leads Peter Richards to strike out for a remote village high in the Andes in search of a shaman and a miracle.

With a unique cast of characters from Peter's guide, Aldo Coreas, a man torn between the modern world and his ancestral past; to Havo, the old mountain shepherd with a ken beyond the here and now; to Pavor, the wily and ruthless shaman of The Cloud People, McKay combines a superb narrative with an unforgettable story that coalesces with a discovery from the distant past that determines a new and dangerous course in Peter's life journey.

"This is such a wonderful book with such good writing!" /

-Barbara Esstman, author of The Other Anna and Night Ride Home.
