About the Book

“Only in the land of dreams the marvelous flower of hope can bloom,” said the elder. Thus it was that Lucas’ journey began. A quest that would confront the green-eyed boy with a doomed mountain (Fear Mountain) and all its hidden perils, a terrifying Ghost (The Ghost of the Black Reality), and ultimately with his own untamed side. The essence of the story can be traced in the two main questions the book asks: How much of our lives are we willing to risk for a chance, only a chance, of finding the life we are yearning for? And once that life is at hand, would we have the courage to overcome our own doubts and fears to ultimately finish our task? This book is for all those who in one way or another are trapped in a life completely opposite to what they are yearning for. This is a story of defeat and victory, agony and joy, despair and hope. This tale is a tribute to the primeval, raw, untamable Human Spirit that dwells in all of us, which when freed from the heavy weight of our own civilization, is capable of reaching the most unimaginable heights.
