Description

<p>A mythical jewel of a story… A true story told on a beach in Yucatan, A Shadow tells Stephanie's story but it was also the story of the golden time. Its nostalgia sings like cicadas in the heat.</p><p>An American ‘Under Milkwood’, this distilled novel of the Sixties evokes the sounds, music and optimism on the free-wheelin streets and parks of Coconut Grove. You can hear Bob Dylan still strumming acoustic; smoke a joint with Fred Neil; and Everybody’s Talkin is carried on the wind.</p><p>Stephanie, a young hairdresser living in lodgings finds herself pregnant. Refused help from her hard Catholic mother in New York, unable to abort her baby, she accepts the kindness of Miriam, her Jewish landlady, whose own barren life spills into compassionate assistance for the daughter she never had.</p><p>The poignancy of its ending, its generosity and acceptance, echoes the bitter disappointment of those of us who hoped for so much more, but who remember its joy, and its promise, as though untarnished by time.</p>

Imagine your life is your own and you can do anything you want. You can focus on what's most important to you, without worrying about money, work, relationships, obligations--anything that doesn't make you happy. This is not a book, this is a spiritual and enlightening journey into the core of your soul. In reading you will discover more about yourself and your deepest desires than you probably have in your entire life. This journey begins with you. Take the leap. You will be so grateful to yourself if you do.&quot; - Samantha Stier, author<br /></span>
