Opis

Holy cow, this better be a dream I yelled ... Mom s joke about summer camp follies in Africa has come true. My adventure started with a nightmarish dream. People wore masks, talked in pidgin English, and performed witchcrafts. They behaved as though they were possessed by evil spirits. That reminded me of Dad s stories about the Naked Devil Dancer who came out of the forest to perform at dusk. I took these as mere stories fictitious legends until now A legend said that the Naked Devil Dancer a barely clothed genie wore different face masks and only a Speedo-type suit covering his private body parts. Often, his arrival was dramatic, with black birds, such as vultures and crows, flying overhead. In many cultures, these were signs of demons. Have you seen your Guardian Angel recently? Any angels at all? Well, angels aren t just in Heaven; they re everywhere In The Sahara Desert Angel the second book in this novel series, Crystal travels to Africa to see her extended family.
