Product Description

When Sonia, a 17-year-old runaway, visited a traveling fortuneteller, she didn't know what to expect. The fortuneteller spoke of Sonia's infant daughter, Althaea. "Raise her in a peaceful environment. She has potential beyond what I have seen." The words of the fortuneteller haunted Sonia, who couldn't have guessed what was in store for her, or her daughter.

When the mysterious "elders" showed up at Sonia's doorstep, everything was about to change. Virtual strangers, they became an integral part in the lives of both Sonia and Althaea, for better or for worse, before leaving on that fateful day.

The experiences, relationships and decisions made by both Sonia and Althaea slowly mold their destiny. Join Sonia who is torn between her love for Althaea and her despair over the loss of her dreams as she tries to climb hurdles and make the life she wants. Join Althaea as she innocently discovers who she is and the reality behind her existence.

"The truth does not require your belief... but what you believe will seem to be the truth."

Customer Reviews

Great on all counts.
Not only is this an interesting story, but it includes all the elements which I embrace in real life: belief in alternate realities and our ability to effect change in the here and now by slipping in and out of those realities and changing circumstances; unassisted childbirth, alternative health care, total unschooling of children, natural foods and herbs, knowledge of the intricacies of nature, and more. Althaea has a supreme psychic and intuitive ability which we all have but have not developed. This isn't just an interesting story, there are those of us who live this way in real life and are just happy to see our lifestyle portraited in a positive light by someone.

Great Book! Beautiful cover. Once I began reading this book, I could not put it down. I was anxious to turn each page to discover what would happen next.

The story will continue, I hope.
