Choices~The Awakening
Author: Cynthia A. Hart
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982274816
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Life is a series of synchronicities that these everyday people become aware of each time they gather. They go beyond questioning why they are here; to a much deeper awareness of living in a still small town in Virginia, in an ever-changing world in the early 90’s. On the surface, they are just going about their business, until some rather strange things start to happen. It is no different than what most of us experience when we pause, long enough, to explore our feelings, talk about them with a close friend and remain on the lookout for the next one. Once they really begin to examine these events, they start to remember all the things they forgot they knew.
