Mailbox Monday. This meme is hosted by Marcia at The Printed Page. I get to participate again this week (YAY!) because I've received a package from Robyn Schechter of Carol Fass Publicity & Public Relations, New York. She sent me The Cost of Dreams by Gary Stelzer. Thank you, Robyn!
This is the first book in the series of novels that depicts a young Mayan woman's extraordinary journey of survival. Set against the vivid backdrop of a Central American country in turmoil and a desolate Mexican wilderness, The Cost of Dreams introduces a masterful new writer of fiction. Gary Stelzer, a retired Midwest physician, draws upon an ordeal of one of his most memorable patients for a novel that's both a powerful, compelling page-turner and a poignant illumination of a woman's-and a people's-struggle to survive.

I like the sound of this series. I can't wait to read a review of the first book.
Sounds like a good one. Enjoy!
This sounds like a good one Alice. By the way I mailed your package out last week. They said it takes up to 8 weeks or more to get to you so it may be a bit of a wait.
It is always a good week when a new book arrives in the mail! I hope you enjoy yours!
How exciting! When I was a child, I used to go around telling everyone that I was a Mayan princess. Silly, I know. LOL I can't wait to see what you think of this one, Alice.
Sounds interesting! I look forward to your review on it.
This sound like it be a good book, Alice. I hope you enjoy the book as much when you got it! Looking forward to read your review on it :)
Viv, Carol, Dar, Kathleen, Wendy, Melody, Julia: I can't wait to get started on the book. I am scheduling the review for January 2010. Thank you all for being here!
Dar, thanks for letting me know. I can wait; don't worry about it. :)
"desolate Mexican wilderness" is enough to intrigue me, I'll look forward to your review Alice.
That sounds really good. I'm fascinated with the Mayans.
Hi Violet, so good to see you here again! Congratulations again on your wedding!
Hi Kathy, thanks! I'm fascinated by them too. :)
