SYNOPSIS:
The
fear over the end of the world, 2012 having long ago come and gone,
has subsided. The Age of Aquarius has arrived in astonishing ways the
flower child of the 60's could never have imagined and the Seer Joely
McKenzie-Ryan, well beyond a fathomable age, is living the age of
enlightenment on her Greek Island estate.
Savina
Broadhurst, Joely's eighteen-year-old great great great niece, whom
she has yet to met, believes at first she has simply stumbled over
the ancient memoirs of a sad but interesting, but long dead eccentric
family member. Savina learns of
her aunt as she pours over her journals, which span over nine
decades, during a thirteen hour flight from Louisiana to Greece to
meet her Aunt Joely. The prose of Joely reveal heart-wrenching
exploits of abuse, neglect, drugs and the very early deaths of nearly
all her immediate family members. Revealed within, is the tale of how
one young sage finds her way out of poverty, mental illness and
ignorant pandemic beliefs to find she is but one of many new age
pioneers who are here to help guide the world, after the
deconstruction, to enlightenment; into The Age of Aquarius.
By
the time Savina has heard the tales culmination at the feet of her
wise aunt, she questions everything she believes about life, love,
religion, God, her family, the world and beliefs themselves. The
story swells to a tense turning point when Savina's mother, Brenda,
comes blazing in with the intention of saving her young daughter's
soul from the aunt she is convinced to be a demented charmer only to
be swept up and enveloped in beautiful, compelling and miraculous
climax!
