The Navajo Event: Proof of God's Existence

This book is about a young couple caught in an apartment fire, and their only means of escape is leaping out of a second-story window. Unfortunately, the husband does not survive. The woman, Carli, undergoes surgery for severe burns and a broken spine with a long recovery ahead. But when a medicine man performs a Navajo healing ceremony, Carli's skin miraculously becomes healthy again. And even more surprising, her spinal hardware has vanished! Worldwide debate ensues, and even the pope weighs in. Is it a miracle? Or, as a fanatic doctor insists, a monstrous hoax to get rich and cover up the murder of her husband? This turns out to be a sticky debate topic with no easy answers-all while Carli's life is forever altered. The Navajo Event is a captivating story that focuses on layers of suspense and the supernatural, much like a layered onion, and is often interspersed with the author's own brand of wry humor.Rick Fishman brings something fresh to the table with this story which involves his daughter and some of her real-life experiences. It contains no profanity, sex, or graphic violence. It is for those who would have an interest in the intermingling of Christian, Jewish, and Navajo cultures . . . and also for those who would enjoy a short, humorous, paranormal mystery highlighted by fifteen photo-illustrations. Rick is uniquely qualified to write this book because part of it is based on the true story regarding his own family tragedy. He is also well versed in the culture of the Navajo Nation in Arizona from personal visits there and knowledge shared with him by his cousin, who worked there as a physician. This is his second book having previously written the children's baseball comedy, Sandlot Summit.
