Around 14,000 years ago, a wet period that lasted for nearly eight millennia transformed the dry Sahara into a second Garden of Eden. Traces of its ancient inhabitants, including those occupying the land that is now Libya, have been grist for the mill for modern archeologists, including Desiree.
There is danger there. Various factions in a divided country still fight to dominate certain portions of the land. They fear that scientists will unearth information about the ancient inhabitants and the land itself, both above and below, that will upset the status quo of the region.
Still, Desiree will go there to seek out this information. In the process, she will risk her life in order to complete her mission: to shed light on the civilization that lived in the Green Sahara and to fulfill her destiny, to uncover secrets about the origins of the human race. In the midst of the fire on the desert sands, she will find love. More important, she will find herself.

If he had been so inclined, Thomas Jefferson might have written: "In the course of human events, there are occasions when men and women of good conscience are compelled to put pen to paper to record the moments in their lives that move them. For in those moments lies the substance of their times, and by extension, the fabric of the world in which they live."
The author, Anthony R. Candela, felt so compelled. This book represents a sampling of moments in his life between June 2021 and April 2024 and the essays he felt moved to write about them. The pieces in this book illustrate his reactions to a wide variety of issues during that period in our history. In most cases, he attempted to reflect the wider picture or themes those reactions represent, connecting them to world events and general trends.
Grateful for the encouragement, advice, and assistance he received from various people during the writing, editing, and production process, the author saves his greatest appreciation for the world out there. For good or for ill, it is the world, he says, that continually keeps things interesting enough to "raise my dander on some occasions and capture my heart on others." Through pandemic and politics, Tony Candela was motivated to keep on writing. This ample compilation is the result of his desire to share his thoughts with you.
Description of the cover for blind and visually impaired readers
In black and white on the gray cover are the three well-known monkey figures, with their hands over their eyes, ears, or mouth, that symbolize the maxim "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." The title letters are red with a white outer glow around them, and the author's name is at the bottom in black, also with a white outer glow.
