Spirit Tapestries

by Savitri L. Bess

The Sophia Secrets

Sixty-three-year-old Anne Demaree picks up stakes and moves to Maine. She's fed up with the way she's lived her life, never getting to the bottom of who she really is, and especially the cause of her wild temper that alienates her from friends.

One stormy day, with waves crashing against cliff, Anne meets an old woman with diamond blue eyes, white braids littered with lichen, and wearing old boots with laces missing.

The old woman keeps showing up in unexpected places, to teach Anne, in unusual ways--blending reality, dream and vision. Meanwhile, Anne falls in love with Adam and falls into trouble trying to help Adam's drug-addicted grandson.
