Описание:

Staring at the clouds through the airplane window, Bella tried to imagine what her grandmother's house looked like. She visualized a small cottage with a white picket fence, a covered porch with an old rocker, and lush flower gardens. Anna Neusa was 96 when she died, and outlived her only daughter, Bella's mother. Why hadn't Mom and Grandma kept in touch over the years? What could've happened between them that separated them for life?

Since they'd only met twice, Bella was surprised to be notified that she had inherited the estate. How had the law firm gotten her address? Social media probably helped. Bella was an author, and Sanders Publishing, her agency, was all over the internet. One great thing about being in the book business was that, with the right equipment, you could work from anywhere. And Bella supposed she might be in Phoenix for a while.

Nothing prepared her for her arrival at Grandmother's. Bella's ideas of Anna Neusa were a mismatch to what she saw. How could a fortune teller, as she was called in family circles, live such a large life? From the start, finding out was unnerving. It challenged everything she'd been taught to believe about life, death, the seen and unseen.

In league with the presence of her grandmother, Bella finally uncovered a 50-year-old secret that upended her beliefs. She was next in the psychic lineage and her gift was beginning to unfold. Suddenly, invisible phenomena, mysticism, science and metaphysics become mainstream. Entangled in a cycle of unending questions, Bella was swept up into the high tech world of iris and thumbprint authentication, hidden chambers and secret devices designed to further experiments in thought transfer.

Was Grandmother actually related to Nikola Tesla? Her unpatented technologies piggybacked his ideas about energy movement. But Anna's interests were aimed at a different type of greater good, helping people identify their brain storms, the thoughts that prevented them from moving forward. Military personnel, veterans and first responders seemed to find their way to Anna's clinic. Although they had already completed all the conventional treatments, they were still unable to live fully. With the use of original inventions, multidimensional communication, and the gift, healers accompanied these everyday heroes over the final hurdles: mending spirits, renewing faith and rediscovering passion.

As the scope of Bella's responsibilities unfolded, she became intimate with the patriot plight and aligned herself with Gran's mastermind group. The circle was composed of psychics and other brain stormers. The seer, the interdimensional medium, and the shaman provided unique, highly specialized insights into their patient's problems. Others, including Bella's sexy, skinny-dipping neighbor, Bruce, offered other types of awareness. Called the Michelangelo of wood, he chiseled away the layers that covered the masterpieces, a coveted talent in wood sculpting and in life redesign. As patients chipped away ideas that didn't serve them, the lives they dreamed of began to unfold.

Описание:

Have you ever done something that you'd give anything to take back? Bruce did. And back-paddling to try to justify his actions occupied a lot of his time. Choices had consequences, and looking back, he wondered if what he lost was greater than what he gained.

In college, Bruce made a choice that changed him forever. It wasn't something you could see by looking at him, but it lived inside, at home where all those dirty little secrets were buried. Every day since, he struggled to dull his remorse and free himself from the bondage of his past. He was damaged, broken. It was his brain storm, the thoughts about what he'd done, that kept him stuck and prevented him from living fully. On the brink of suicide, he met his neighbor, Anna.

At a time when he needed it, Anna threw him a lifeline. She had friends. Her mastermind group was composed of, among others, a psychic, a medium, and a shaman. Though skeptical, Bruce allowed the brain stormers to provide unique insight that gently nudged him in a new direction. With their guidance, he rediscovered a life worth living.

Bruce became the Michelangelo of wood. He could look at a piece of wood and see the sculpture inside it. He often wondered whether it was the masterpiece crying out for expression, or something in him screaming to be released. Either way, it had become a fulfilling line of work.

When Anna died, Bruce was devastated. And then came Bella, her granddaughter and heir. From the start, they made discoveries that coaxed them out of their comfort zones and into uncharted waters. They became a matched set. Not long after, he summoned the courage to tell Bella his 30-year-old secret.

Bruce and Ivy made a pact of silence. Neither wanted their families to know about the pregnancy. The shame it brought to them both, was punishment enough. They weren't in love, didn't want to get married, and weren't ready to be parents.

Being raised Catholic, neither wanted to abort the child, so they agreed to adoption. At birth, the baby was taken immediately, without them seeing or knowing anything. And that was supposed to be the end. They went their separate ways.

Their vow of silence made it impossible to work through the feelings and consequences of their actions. Bruce never married or had a family. Ivy married and had children, but felt that her marriage was built upon a lie, or, at the very least, a half-truth. Neither could live fully with their unanswered questions and regrets.

A closed adoption made it impossible to legally get information about their child, but he never stopped trying. Bruce eventually found out they'd had a baby girl who died a few months later from complications of a birth defect. The sadness and remorse he'd suffered through the years was nothing compared to the grief that became his companion when he learned the truth.

Then, out of the blue, Bruce got a message.

"Your daughter is alive."

How could that be?

Bruce was against Bella's idea of turning things over to others for investigation. He'd promised Ivy complete secrecy. As far as he knew, she'd kept her part of the bargain. He, on the other hand had told someone, Bella, and she told someone. And now, the only thing he was sure of was that he had to find Ivy and let her know what was going on.

Join Bruce and Bella as they seek the truth. With a closed adoption, how do you get access to privileged medical records? How do you find someone if you don't their name?
