When Marissa’s fiancé leaves her unexpectedly, she is left trying to put the broken pieces of her life back together again.

The magical years of her childhood are now lost or long forgotten and, trapped in a downward spiral of worry and anxiety, nothing seems to be bringing the magic back any time soon.

Training to become a therapist, Marissa discovers an unforeseen talent for helping others and, for a while at least, she puts her own needs and concerns to one side. An unexpected windfall prompts a spontaneous trip to Peru, and an encounter while she is there triggers an astonishing series of events.

Shaken but excited, Marissa embarks on a wonderful journey of revelation and adventure – after which, her life will never be the same again. Marissa’s story is your story, is my story, is everybody’s story: we each must find our own true path through life, our one true way.

Abby Wynne, author and Shamanic Psychotherapist, brings all her wisdom to bear on Marissa’s amazing tale of discovery and healing. A catalyst for people’s healing processes, Abby is a problem solver, a creative artist, an alchemist, a healer, a mother, a daughter, a lover of life – and it shows in this, her first novel.

My Review

When I started reading Awakening, I knew nothing about Shamanism or spiritual healing, other than once visiting a Reiki practitioner (so I could review my experience for a magazine). Awakening is quite an eye-opener. I learnt so much.

I was very excited by the idea of the oracle cards and purchased a set as soon as I finished reading the book. I wish I could have ‘Bear’ as my spirit guide all the time. I also purchased a sage smudge stick. I love the smell, it’s gorgeous. Sorry, I’m rambling.

Marissa is struggling to get over the break-up of her relationship with James. They were going to get married, have two children – a girl and a boy – and spend the rest of their lives together. Then James left her and she still doesn’t know why. He married someone else and started a family with her.

Marissa has a boring job in an office, where she works with Sarah. She is also training to be a psychotherapist. Sarah persuades her to go to Peru and having just received some money from an uncle, she can afford to go. It’s not the kind of thing she usually does. And while for Sarah, it’s a holiday with the hope of finding romance, for Marissa, it’s the trip of a lifetime. She discovers her talent for healing and it changes the direction that her life is taking.

Her spiritual adventure will lead her to Shamanism, Reiki and guardian angels, amongst other paths. The ‘journeys’ she takes as part of her training are described in such detail and are wrapped around a story of lost love, being an outsider in a Jewish family (my Jewish mother married a Polish Catholic so this I understand), finding oneself and learning to love and trust again. It’s a beautiful book with a message for all of us: ‘we each must find our own true path through life, our one true way.’
