<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Author Mary Jo McConahay says:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;I wrote <em><strong>Maya Roads</strong></em> after thirty years of traveling in the rainforest  region of southern Mexico and northern Guatemala, not only as a  journalist but also because I am deeply taken by all culture Maya,  ancient and modern.  I don&#8217;t avoid the violence that has ripped that  part of the world with revolution and civil war, describing what I have  seen; but I travel too in order to find the sacred Maya sites, and to  wonder at the ancient cities that speak even in ruins.&#8221;</p>

<p style="padding-left: 60px;">&#8220;Every once in a while I stumble upon a book that is so beautifully  written and infused with so much intelligence and heart that it leaves  an indelible mark on me. Mary Jo McConahay&#8217;s <em>Maya Roads</em> is such a  book. In its hungry passion and wide-eyed wonder, it&#8217;s an extraordinary  literary journey and a moving testament to a region and a life.&#8221; —<strong>Don  George</strong>, <em>National Geographic Traveler, </em>Trip Lit blog</p>

<div style="padding-left: 60px;">
<div>&#8220;From  the moment Mary Jo McConahay steps into the deep Mexican jungle, you  will follow her anywhere. In this extraordinary travel memoir, McConahay  journeys through beauty, history, disappearing cultures, and  revolution. . . . Her courage, keen observation, and open heart make her  an unparalleled guide to this gorgeous, mysterious, sacred, and  sometimes terrifying corner of the planet.&#8221; —<a href="http://www.laurafraser.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Laura Fraser</strong></a>, author, <em>An Italian Affair</em> and <em>All Over the Map</em></div>
<div><strong>[</strong>Coach Teresa here. So cool to see Laura praising Mary Jo&#8217;s book. I just met Laura this year when my pal/talking-tagline guru/travel writer <strong>Elisa Southard</strong> invited me the February 2011 Bay Area Travel Writers meeting. Laura was the speaker; <a href="http://elisaonassignment.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Elisa Southard</strong></a> was the co-chair the Student Travel Writing Contest.  Here&#8217;s<a href="http://www.batw.org/articles/elisa-southhard_apr-2011/" target="_blank"> Elisa article</a> about the event.<strong>]</strong></div>
