Ava of the Gaia Book 3
"Ava and her friends are back, this time with an ancient source of powerful wisdom that was hidden for hundreds of years. A must read if you too want to further engage in the great project of our time-protecting Mother Earth and life as we know it, through love, wisdom, stories, and action. Warning: This is not for the faint of heart!"
