Overview

Like Professor Carey Roberts, many feared the world would end in 2012. It was instead the beginning of a new cycle in the Mayan calendar. Life continues to evolve. Two years later, believing there is more to be learned from the Mayans, Roberts returns to the Yucatán, only to have his research interrupted when he is caught up in a local tragedy while in the company of Tyler West, a popular American journalist. Recuperating in Kaan, a place whose name is Mayan for Heaven, Roberts confronts his past of failed relationships, forms new friendships, and embarks on a journey of acceptance, understanding, and enlightenment. In Kaan, Roberts encounters important individuals from his past: Tim, his childhood hero; E. J., the college girlfriend who once proposed marriage to him; and Chip, the boy for whom he was once a big brother. Among the many new personalities he meets in Kaan are Claude, his endearing caretaker; Roon, a mysterious Middle Eastern teacher concealing a dark past; Vinya, the teacher and librarian who saved Roon; Phyllis Clout, a suspected murderer; Yuan, whom Roberts believes to be the local leader; and Patrick, the charismatic young man whom Roberts seems able to glimpse only in the distance. With Roberts narrating his experiences, the novel presents a vision of the afterlife unlike anything previously published. Death is not the end. Eternity has significant implications for all creation. Endings are but a bridge in the evolution of people and the world in which they live.
