How Real Are Dreams?

"Ambrosia Harris had been looking for something all her life." This line is how T.T. Henderson begins this wonderful story. Ambrosia has vague memories of a father who abandoned her some 20 years ago, taking with him the missing piece of herself. She lives in Denver, Colorado and works as a researcher, digging up facts and statistical data. She has spent 5 years searching for her father and has finally decided that he doesn't want to be found, so she has ended her search.Ambrosia was approached by handsome Justus Nadamo, a Majidian warrior from Uzira. His request was for her to assist in finding the King's wife, the Queen of Uzira and his two daughters, whom the King had not seen in 20 years. The King is dying and his last request is to see his estranged family and prepare his daughter to assume the role of ruler of Uzira. As Ambrosia starts her search, she stumbles across more than she bargained for. A stunned Ambrosia is reluctant to believe what she has found. Queen Lysette Harikeem in 1980 legally changed her name and the names of her two daughters.The princess is found and the adventure begins. Does the princess travel with Justus to Uzira, to reunite with her father and save the country from an impending war? Is this the missing link and the excitement she has so often dreamed about and can the princess live with the Uzirian law that says Royal blood cannot mix with that of a common warrior?T.T. Henderson took us on a beautiful and historical journey back to the motherland, where customs and traditions held a special place in our lives. This was a magical read, that had you on the edge of your seat.Reviewed by aNN

For Love of Africa!

This novel is absolutely wonderful, powerful in its message, and the visuals of an exotic place in Africa called Uzira, were awesome. The reader is taken on an adventurous ride of fabulous proportions. I loved the way Ms. Henderson tied everything together. For she writes a book that I could not put down until I was at the end, panting and wishing I had a man in my life named Justus. The plot was interesting, the pace excellent, there is not one thing about this story I did not love. Before this story I had never thought about the African culture and such strong traditions, loyalty, and not mixing royalty with a warrior. But Ambrosia and Justus do mix after all their efforts at restraint are exhausted. I loved the scene where the power of dance was used. Dancing is a form of erotic arousal and Ms. Henderson paints a poignant picture of how music, hypnotic drums and sexual energy can become a powerful mixture for the sensual dance of love. I found this book to be such a delightful, different story line that I can't wait to read her next novel.

A delightful reading experience

Perhaps it is her own needs to find what she lost two decades ago along with her missing father. Whatever the underlying cause, Denver resident Ambrosia Harris has earned a nice living as a research expert finding information for a wide group of clients. Justus Nadamo wants to use Ambrosia's services to save his African country. Unable to resist his smile or the "foreign intrigue" hint, Ambrosia agrees to at least listen to him though she is booked helping a local TV celebrity. King Francois of Uzira fled the nation two decades ago along with his wife Lysette and his two daughters, but once the revolt was defeated, he returned alone. As he lies dying, he wants his family, raised as Americans, to return home to say his good-byes as well as their presence to stabilize a hostile situation with neighboring Namibia. Queen Lysette refuses, but Justus and Ambrosia fall in love all the while knowing he is a warrior and she is royalty. AMBROSIA is an exciting ethnic romantic intrigue that provides the audience an interesting look into an exotic part of Africa. The story line is fast-paced as the cast lines up on both sides of the issue with some wanting the return of the royal family and some feeling they deserted the country twenty years ago. The lead couple is a fabulous duet struggling between their attraction and his knowledge of their roles in his society. T.T. Henderson has written a winner that works because of its rich background interlaced within a powerful plot.Harriet Klausner
