Praise
“A spiritual intrigue similar to Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, this creative twist on a popular subgenre combines the sentimentality of Nicholas Sparks with the realism expected of a hardcore journalist. Williamson’s outstanding fiction debut encompasses more than elementary principles extracted from religion. Intellectual without being off-putting . . . this sensitive author will lead the traveler to astonishing places.” — Julia Ann Charpentier, ForeWord Reviews
“Blends vivid imagery from locales as diverse as northern Cameroon to the highlands of Ecuador with one woman’s quest for spiritual enlightenment, enduring love, and inner peace. Williamson follows the tribulations of a Peace Corps Volunteer fleeing from her past, but unsure of her future, as she builds and deconstructs relationships with herself, those around her, and – ultimately – a higher power. This is a great book for anyone who has traveled paths both physical and philosophical seeking greater truths and balance in life.” — Dillon Banerjee, Foreign Service Officer and author of The Insider’s Guide to the Peace Corps: What to Know Before You Go
“A winner! This imaginative, exciting, and heartwarming book is sure to inspire a lot of people as it did me. It spoke directly to my soul. Not only that, all the mystery made it such a page-turner.

“Be prepared for an internal shift. In a storyline spanning the world, the author weaves together elements of alchemy, shamanism, numerology, and symbology to unfold a spiritual journey of evolving love that will stir your soul. Something sleeping deep inside will awaken, realize the central truth of this book, and will say, ‘Yes, I remember now’.” — Joseph B. Lumpkin, bestselling author of The Books of Enoch
“A thoughtful, literary adventure of mystery and spirituality. Williamson fills her narrative with challenging experiences and beliefs, without seeking to justify any one worldview. The plot drove me to continue down an unexpected path through three different cultures on three different continents. Reminiscent of The Celestine Prophecy and The Alchemist, these pages left me with satisfying questions about the nature of the world and my place in it.” — Ingrid Anders, author of Earth to Kat Vespucci and Kat Vespucci Takes Taiwan
“The story of a young woman’s rediscovery and redemption through darkness and light. Pain and disillusionment give rise to a journey through superstitions and fear, questioning and disempowerment—an experience with an ancient and revelatory book of sound vibrations—to renewed understanding and hope in one’s ability to create change by following one’s heart and being love. Letting go of the past opens the door to living fully in the present.” — The International Alchemy Guild

This is a book that will not only entertain you, keep you in suspense, and inspire romance in you, but also teach you how you too can start connecting with your own heart. And from that magical space, begin to literally create miracles in all areas of your life…let go of the past, heal old wounds, and start creating more loving, authentic, and harmonious relationships. And who knows, maybe even call forth your true soul mate! A refreshing and captivating story about the journey into one’s heart! — Gabriel Gonsalves, Heart Intelligence Coach and Founder of Heart’n Mind Consulting
