Publisher's Synopsis
A novel inspired by factual science and history: What do meditation, certain quantum physics studies, energy healing, and little-known history of women and ancient partnership cultures have in common? As Brianna Grant finds out, the answer is more powerful than you may think. For her, it's life changing. Long intrigued by books on the diverse subjects, Brianna recognizes individuals have far greater power than most are aware. What she finds even less acknowledged is the power for positive change comes through love, compassion, and wisdom. These qualities are normally considered feminine, but neither love nor feminine is viewed as power. Yet, she used the powerful energy of these qualities to heal from the unrelenting violence of her childhood, and she greatly improved her life in all respects. Now that she's begun a book on these topics, she's had more flash-backs of her father's vicious fists and her mother's bloody and bruised face. The intense images and memories show how the violence damaged her and how its long-term effects rippled through generations in her family. She struggles through the painful emotions to regain her balance and keep her focus on the compassion that's brought greater enjoyment to life. During her usual walk, Brianna encounters a man who seems to eavesdrop on her thoughts, since he continues a conversation she knows they didn't start. Distracted by the older man's gentle smile and somehow-comforting manner, she dismisses the oddity. Over the next weeks, they often meet on the wooded paths. Their discussions peel back layers of history and reality, and Brianna renews her resolve to join others promoting a more egalitarian culture. As these ancient cultures demonstrated, a win/win, compassionate mindset leads the way to a better life and culture for all individuals. Despite her obstacles, will she use this energy of compassion toward even greater circumstances in her life? Could it do the same for you?
