Going back isn't an option. Not for 18-year-old Cassie Krebs who has spent her life in a desert commune. About to be married off to a church elder almost twice her age, she escapes with the help of her mother. When her old bucket-of-bolts car breaks down in Jackpot Junction, Nevada, and Cassie finds herself with no money and no place to live, she accepts the first job offer.
But now, after six years of spinning a roulette wheel, Cassie is ready for change. She just doesn't know what.
When a traveling writing instructor posts an ad on the local bulletin board advertising a memoir writing class and the Secrets of the Universe, Cassie is compelled to go. With old memories twisted up inside her, she is determined to move beyond the guilt, grief and anxiety of her childhood. But what she finds is a series of truths that lead her across three continents... and to her ultimate destination, home, where she must set one heart-wrenching truth free once and for all.

The Mayan Sisterhood by Jamie Brazil is a wonderful example of episodic adventures though Cassie is more naive than sharp-witted and there is nary a rogue in her adventures. That's my take on the definition of PICARESQUE from my old dictionary and if learning that word is all you get from this story, it will still be worth the journey!This book was recommended to me by a friend as one of those - It's a free read! So I didn't even read the blurb and the cover didn't download to my Kindle. It was a recommend so I just started reading, and kept reading, all the way to the end. It was a page turner, not from gripping suspense, but from curiosity and interest. I was captured by this young woman before I even knew her name.
I learned a few things about Japan, and meteors, not much so as to distract from Cassie's journey of self discovery. I was amused by Cassie's solution to all the world's problems - as I have seen three generations of women working together in a kitchen many times and would never call the experience peaceful or cooperative. My reality is not the same as Cassie's fictional journey of self discovery but that just made it a more fascinating story.
The added plus to this story is the voice of the author, it is clean and gentle in the presentation while the actual events of the story are harsh, devastating and prone to disaster. The whole story takes place within a month (I think) of this 24-year-old woman's life and yet the transformation of Cassie during that month of constantly checking the "list" created a satisfaction for this reader that this young woman will move forth into a full an meaningful life. If only a month was all it took for the rest of us. :D

The Mayan Sisterhood edition by Jamie Brazil Wahula Gonzo Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
It is refreshing to read a novel where the protagonist is a woman who makes no apologies for being sexual. I applaud Jamie Brazil for having the honesty to write such a book. And now I plan to read Prince Charming, Inc. Cheers, Jamie!
Unusual...Surprising....and really good.
I don't know why, but I was expecting something completely different, and was pleasantly surprised when I read (devoured) this book.
Those rules are pretty good....and I liked how the story unfolded and guided Cassie on her journey.
Well worth the read!
A great debut novel! This book can change lives. Well written. Cassie Krebs is unforgettable. "What if the evolution of man...is woman?"
A nice variation on the coming of age story. Ms Brazil writes an engaging story with her own twists that keep you turing the pages.
Four stars because this book was not what I was expecting. It's not really a romance, but it was really well written and the story kept me turning pages all the way through. In fact, I read it in one day. It's a sort of coming of age travel story of Cassie, who is at loose ends in her life. Her casino job is a dead end and she's avoiding her past. Loved Max. Loved Japan and the Sahara Dessert. So the story gets a touch creepy with the church thing, but as she puts together all those hints from the pink page she carries everywhere, she pretty much figures her life out. And the story comes full circle. I won't spoil the ending, but I have to say... it took me by suprise and it totally got me. The ending is awesome. It was my favorite part of the novel.
