✦ Synopsis

What happens when one harrowing incident changes your life, splitting it between before and after?

On the fourth day of what Lara Naughton thought would be two weeks of bliss in Belize, she was kidnapped and assaulted by a man pretending to be a cabdriver. Held in the depths of the tropical forest--alone with the jaguar Man--she found that compassion was her only defense.

Lara's survival and journey of healing __ is poignant, compelling, and exceptional. Bending the limits of reality, she uses myth to process her experience. As Lara seeks a new understanding of herself, her lyrical, haunting prose reveals a belief that there is room for compassion--for self and and others--even in the midst of violence.

Lara Naughton is an author and documentary playwright. Her work includes Never Fight a Shark in the Water: The Wrongful Conviction of Gregory Bright....
