In this little guide, I reframe the writing process in a way that makes it fun again, evoking depth, insight and freshness while minimizing the negative effects of blocks and self-criticism, using them instead for increased awareness. A potent process for those drawn to use writing as a spiritual practice to heighten inner awareness and foster spiritual growth. Powerful for those who want to write memoir, fiction, poetry or essays from a source beneath the mind's surface where we can access insight, wisdom, clarity and creative flow.

NAUTILUS BOOK AWARD WINNER FOR FICTION. The last time Lata saw her Aunt Charlotte, she was standing in the attic window waving, a solid wall of fire behind her. Was it a suicide? An act of cruelty and madness? Or a form of fierce love? The story takes us back to find clues in Charlotte’s childhood and in the events leading up to the fire. We learn of Charlotte's deep connection to her Aunt Marie, who introduced her to the power of plants and trees to heal. We learn of her relationship to Jesse, who she meets in the stretch of city forest that she calls home. We learn of her fierce desire to protect the trees and the spirits who live among them — and the lineage of those who are called to open themselves fully to love, whatever the cost.

"Haunting and stunning."
        —D Donovan, senior reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"An intricate and captivating dual narrative that keeps returning to the magic of trees."
        —Kirkus Reviews
