Publisher's Synopsis
Jennifer never fit the Hollywood lifestyle she endured with her actor father and social scrabbling stepmother, Toni. Glitter, fake smiles and seemingly endless parties were the everyday reality until the bloody night her father was murdered. While LA police try to find the truth about her father's death, Jennifer is sent to beautiful, but shockingly different, rural, northern Vermont mountain wilderness, to live with her aunt and uncle and a wild, wonderful pack of free-range, unchained sled dogs who not only befriend and heal her in this world, but lead her into a mythic world altogether. Led by the wise queen, alpha dog, Luna, Jennifer and "The Unchained Gang" face powers of light and dark in both Solaria and on Earth - and with their human, canine and mythical friends of the Wisdom Runners in Solaria, begin an epic battle to keep the light from being swallowed by shadows forever. Along the way, Jennifer, and her Solarian friend, David, follow the truth of their hearts as they learn about dreams, missions and dedicating oneself to the greater good. From Karen Becker, DVM -Wellness Veterinarian Expert at Dr. Mercola's healthypets.mercola.com - "We all have the power to become Wisdom Runners...to be so connected and in tune with the life forces on this earth that other dimensions in time and space open to allow for true healing and emotional evolution to occur. This book is about being a victorious survivor, the power of inter-species love and our ability to work together with the rest of the animal kingdom to conquer our fears. Like all competitive sports involving animals, the world of dog sledding has its share of secrets. It warms my heart this book highlights how we can successfully participate in this sport while never compromising the promise of a full, content and joy filled life for every dog on the team." From Tanya Sousa - Editor - The Luna Tales - Book One - The Wisdom Runners: "When I first read Luna Tales Book One "The Wisdom Runners," I knew it was something special. The fact that it is a complicated and long novel written by a woman who has managed autism all her life is a triumph on its own, but in addition it is truly beautifully written. The characters are engaging and real even though they are mostly in a fantasy setting; the story begins with heart-pounding action and continues with just the right blend of peaceful or joyful moments and urgent, nail-biting scenes. "It's a tale that encourages us to nourish ourselves in body and soul and does so with emotion and truth. If you have felt our world keeps inching or sometimes racing to a dark place, you'll recognize what the main characters are fighting. You will also feel the important ray of hope that by nurturing ourselves and building a strong healthy base, we will be able to light the world (and any worlds connected with us!) with truth and kindness. There is a call within these pages for us to each change - a call to rebalance the equation. When I read the story for the first time I knew that, yes, I was reading about the white dog Luna's world, and the world of the other Wisdom Runners, but I was also reading about our world. All creatures, all things, all interconnected in ways we can see and in ways we can't." I am proud to have played the small role I have in bringing this book to your hands.
