The Jade Head
Overview
A Hemingway-esque adventure that even Hemingway might have declined! After getting sacked from his job as an accountant, Bob Wayne leaves behind two ex-wives, four kids and a hurt girlfriend and goes looking for adventure in the tropical country of Belize. In between deep-sea fishing and snorkeling in the warm, turquoise blue waters of the Caribbean, he learns about a famous Mayan jade statue of the Sun God, Kinich Ahau. Together with a mysterious American planter and an exotic Creole beauty, Bob gets caught up in a risky adventure that sets his life on a dramatically new and unexpected course. Meanwhile, back home in a small town in Illinois, his girlfriend Donna has a few adventures of her own that Bob never could have imagined. Accompanying Bob Wayne on his suspenseful, but humorous, path to a surprise ending, you will glimpse the beauty and romance of the tropical paradise of Belize, as well as its darker underside; and youll learn about the Creoles, Mestizos, Garifunas, Mayans and even the Mennonites who live there.
