The Quilt: A Woman's Journey to Power - Paperback

by Nanci Shandera Ph. D. (Author)

Alex Wilder is a single mother and workaholic who stubbornly sees nothing wrong with how ruthlessly she treats others in order to get ahead. One night, she has a shocking dream that catapults her into a fantastic chain of events that will generate unforeseen and astonishing changes in her life. Though she tries to ignore the dream and the disturbing feelings it has stirred, Alex must face her limitations when two extraordinary teachers and a mysterious quilt appear in her life. Through their guidance, Alex learns to transform her perception of reality, embrace her authenticity, and open her heart to love. THE QUILT is a metaphor and map for personal spiritual awakening. Alex Wilder represents anyone who is called to discover an authentic self. The story is based upon the author's own experiences as a lifelong seeker of spiritual truths as well as those of her Mystery School students. The book's main purpose is to entertain, but to those who are drawn to its seeds of possibility, it may offer assistance in understanding and integrating the birth pains that always accompany the personal transformational process.
