David Saunders was born a Preacher's Kid. As a PK, the life experiences and expectations of a child of clergy were different from his peers. When Saunders was eleven, he left all that he knew when his parents moved the family to a British Colony in the Caribbean and then to British Guiana. Yacco is a word from the vocabulary of the Patamona tribe of Amerindians, who inhabit a village deep in the interior of British Guiana. Loosely interpreted, the word means cousin, member of the family. It is a term of genuine acceptance, of connection and belonging. Journey to Yacco is the story of Saunders' early life. A journey that takes him from the red clay soil of North Carolina to the coral reefs of the West Indies, to the variegated jungles of South America. He recounts the adventures and misadventures of a Southern boy growing up in the 1940s and '50s.Saunders is hard at work on the sequel about his teenage years living on an island of coconut palms and hurricanes, and in a country of snakes and dugout canoes.
