Twist
of Fate

BLURB:
Shawna
grew up with a secret that she couldn't share with anyone. She
thought of it as her "inner demon" and it shaped her life.
When she became an adult, it sent her on a quest to try to find her
Real Home. In Paris, she fell in love with a fellow traveler who
changed her life, for better or worse. Their relationship was full of
discovery and of lessons learned.
How
could she come to terms with her "inner demon"? Can we
change our fate or karma? Does love really conquer all?
This
book is based on a true story of an independent woman's search for
her true self and the meaning of life, and how she found answers in
unexpected places.
Excerpt
I
meditated in my Paris apartment the day before leaving for London.
Hurricane
John had picked me up and tossed me around high in the air, and then
pounded me on the sand. Like my aunt’s tea cup, I broke into pieces
and lay at the bottom of the ocean. I wished sharks would eat me, but
none came. But there was a gentle manatee that floated by and pushed
all of my pieces together with her nose. Slowly, I became whole
again. I found a shield and an arrow lying on the ocean floor, and
quickly picked them up. I climbed on top of the manatee, and she
easily carried me to the surface. I walked out of the water with my
treasures and lay in the warm sun letting it heal my wounds. I closed
my eyes for a time.
When I
opened them an eagle was hovering above me, staring at me. I realized
its message of freedom and strength, and soaring to new heights. I
would be happy with or without John. I really did not need him. I
never did. A connection to the divine was at hand and I needed to
prepare. Change would be coming, and I welcomed it with open arms.
London.
Home again. I felt like I could breathe once more. My new life had
begun and I waited for the stirrings of new growth to move me onward
and upward. No more going backwards ever again, I swore to myself.
I moved
in with Trina. We became friends when I worked in London. A
successful lawyer with room to spare for a lost American gal. But not
for long, I hoped.
