The Legend of Birdtoe

The Legend of Birdtoe crosses the lines of the imagination. It is a tale of Self-Empowerment and Hope for Yusef, a prisoner in North Africa. After reaching into the depths of his soul, and confronting his inhibiting thoughts, habits and fears, he finds not only a way out of his confinement, but the key to happiness and inner fulfillment. He spreads his joy and consciousness to the men and women that he encounters on his journey in this richly illustrated book.
