Florida Holds Fountain of Youth

For those who are native Floridians, Ponce de Leon`s famous `Fountain of Youth` is common knowledge. In a new time-travel adventure by B.C. Brooks, `Heirloom`, the Fountain of Youth is found to be the one and only Ichetucknee Springs in Fort White, Florida.

In this book, you`ll find Native American culture and ceremony, St. Augustine as it was in 1692, 1781 and 1808, travel the road north from La Florida to Virginia, experience the horror of the Salem Witchcraft Trials in 1692 and fight pirates off the coast of New England. You`ll also experience love between two people that can never be broken, even by death.

Travel back to 1808 when naval officer Stephen Hathorne is shipwrecked on the coast of what was then La Florida, a Spanish colony. He meets three natives there that lead him on a trek past St. Augustine to find an old family friend who now, with centuries-old native allies, guards the spring whose properties have kept them alive for so long. There, Hathorne is launched into the future to discover love and ultimately, danger as he exposes an evil plot to destroy his family and history itself.
