Excerpt:
"Here I am, in the middle of the Kakum Rain Forest in Ghana, Africa. My heart rate is pounding with the fear of being tossed off of a one foot wide bridge suspended one-hundred and fifty feet in the air. My next move could decide my fate. I stand as frozen as a wax museum figure clinging to the suspension ropes with a vise grip that would make a professional wrestler squirm. My eyes must be the size of silver dollars as I stare at the platform landing only twenty feet away. Is this how my quest is going to end? Have I come all this way, across the Atlantic Ocean from Cincinnati, Ohio, in search of my ancestral heritage only to be snuffed out by a bouncing bridge?"
