Book Cover & Preview Text
Her second letter was written in her teenage voice after the visit from angels in the middle of the night. They had appeared in her bedroom waking her to the sound of strange voices speaking a language she had never heard. As she became more alert, she discovered that she could understand them. We are here to guide you, dear child, through your growing awareness and spiritual development. Do not be afraid. We will always be around you. Comforting as the message was, it only proved to exacerbate her sense of isolation. Who could she confide in about this event that overwhelmed her? No one would believe her, and she would feel even more like an alien from another planet. Her fingers gripped the pen as she thought of all the ways she had been thwarted in her attempt to be loved and accepted. ..... No one there had been no one.

About the Book
Through the persona of Tori Litchfield, author Nikki Friedlander uses fiction to tell a deeply personal story of the alchemy of spirit. Both Tori and Nikki are women who came of age in the 1950s. Both are fueled with an unconventional drive to understand the deeper meanings of life; the challenges of balancing career, home life, children, and personal imperatives were no easier back then than they are today. Tori is a successful fashion designer in New York City. We meet her as she is ready to go to Malta for a career-critical photo shoot with fashion photographer Luca. The seeds of change are sowed on this trip, as Tori first meets the mysterious Gabriella, and Luca faces a life-changing decision. And for Tori, a visit to the Hypogeum, a pre-historic underground temple and sacred resting place of the Sleeping Goddess, opens a new door that lead her to many teachers and teachings, including Baba Muktananda, Drunvalo Melchizedek, Gurumayi, St. Germaine and Archangel Michael. Throughout the book, Nikki alternates between story and reflection, as she speaks with humility and piercing honesty in the Interludes about marriage, partnership, the friendship of women, and the unexpected joys, gifts, and miracles of The Divine Journey.
About the Author
Nikki Friedlander’s first spiritual experiences occurred in her teens and were the catalyst to pursue a deeper understanding of the Presence that she knew was guiding her. Simultaneously, her love of color and beauty lead her to the New York Fashion Academy and a career in the fashion industry. She learned to meditate in the early 70s, and learned about the meaning and power of colors soon thereafter – we are all energy fields, and colors have their own qualities and energies. In her own words: “This is a story about love and living in the heart, and how I experienced my own Divine Being. All of these experiences came into my life with perfect and unexpected timing, and I just went for it!”
