Book Description
The population is on earth like a matchbox, Prepared to be used in turning on and off, Those that are broken are thrown away so that they do not get in the way, We lose the focus of living in nature due to obligations, In the dream of life a constant journey is born, A hug of colors wraps you in its mantle, Smiling images are reflected in memories, It is the eternal union creating the bond of return, Fluorescent stars shine with aromas, The dance of the universe always keeps traces, Renewal watches with peace in his spirit, When you wake up from the trip, new life will be born

Emma Morgan’s husband dies suddenly, and she stumbles on evidence he siphoned off large amounts of their personal savings to an intimidating stranger.

Emma is forced to examine the past in order to determine why, throughout life, fear has dictated her choices. Insight begins to empower her. Compelled to uncover the truth of her late husband’s mysterious double life, she goes in search of the ghost in the Morgan’s family closet. Never could she have predicted the ghost would come back to life and knock her off her feet. As she begins to reinvent her life according to her own design, she believes her tribulations are finally behind her. Then disaster strikes again, and she must admit one final truth she’s been denying—the passport to lasting happiness is close at hand, although it may be too late to reach out and claim it.

Elena, grief-stricken by the death of her only child and the end of her marriage, finds herself falling dangerously in love with one of her underage students.
