Facing one's fears is a scary experience. Facing them high in the Peruvian and Ecuadorian Andes is another thing altogether. The author and her husband travel by bus through South America, bringing along with them a contentious relationship, humour, and a fresh Canadian perspective. Interspersed with the physical journey is a soul journey as Liz Roy explores the roots of a chronic skin condition. Through hypnotic regression, she learns that it's cause was seeded, not just in her present life but from beyond the womb - in many past lives.
