Souls Blossom in Winter

Book excerpt: From day one, Bridget Julia McNeil has grown up quickly. As a child of the ’60s, girl of the ’70s, and teenager of the ’80s, she learns to navigate her own path, stumbling and regaining her balance along the way. That path takes her from her childhood home in Colorado to Mexico, Hawaii, and, finally, on a great adventure in the Philippines, Thailand, Nepal, and India at the age of sixteen. Love and the search for enlightenment suffuse her travels. What she does not realize is that her journey has a guide: from a place near the center of all creation, the spirit Darius watches over Bridget, making sure she is always safe and on the right track in a mission she has no idea she is on.
