The Fountain of Youth

About the Book

Set in the teeming frontier wilderness of northeast Florida, the Fountain of Youth chronicles the continuing saga of the Ribault family. Investing each generation with its own identity as historical events both factual and metaphysical unfold, one idea survives: to discover the mythic fountain of youth. More than Montezuma’s treasure or El Dorado, this secluded hideaway had become a holy grail for the Ribaults. Deep in the dense forest of the Marshlandic Kingdom, the quest for Ponce de Leon’s miracle springs was conducted as generations explored and mapped the region before Napoleon Ribault finally makes a mythic discovery.
