The Shaman's Tale D. Lieberman

It is said of The Shaman that he once tamed a wild ocean with a single breath. That he has the insight to turn fears into freedoms. That the elegant 20 foot breakers off the west coast of Costa Rica are manifests of his powers. Some say his father was a Zen Master and his mother a Voodoo Priestess. Some say that he can transform into jungle animals. All these legends are whispered, repeated, and passed on from town to town. The Shaman has no need to prove anything to the locals because he?s far too busy surfing the most dangerous waves he can catch. An unlikely disciple, Will Goldman is a typical New Yorker (highly-strung, anxiety-ridden, workaholic-neurotic) who lurches, cynically, from one deep-seated fear to the next. He?s just another piece of flotsam-and-jetsam tossed helplessly on the crashing waves of urban life, who, more often than not, is dragged below the surface by the undertow of his own self-doubt. No longer satisfied with grinding out a soulless life under the thumb of an abusive boss, Will embarks upon a new road to face his nightmares. Both men?s paths are about to cross. In his first novel, D. Lieberman takes us of on a full-tilt, twirling, surf-altering adventure to the center of the calm.
