Avalon Blue, past sixty, hides the secret initiations holding her hostage, forcing her to stay a loner traveling the world in eccentric clothes of her own design. In Winter’s Lee, a small northern fishing village, she meets Lucian and Melanie, cousins and best friends who have settled in Winter’s Lee, planning to be bored and lonely until their demise from old age.

That is, until an unexpected, muddy, squalling little messenger flings itself into their arms, bringing her brand new emotional, imaginative, journey involving Shamans, animal totem, tattoos and a mysterious island into their lives. Avalon Blue has come away from the supposedly innocent island retreat covered in living animal tattoos. She developed a clothing line to hide them, but

still lives life as a runaway hermit. Her Spirit has tasked her to tend to it in an unusual way. This is an awesome, inspiring, humorous story of an odd, misplaced woman’s journey through a life that pushes her into bigger understandings of how it all works together. Charming and ditzy, Avalon makes her way through a life woven with ageless magic to meet another who is her match and mate. Her life and his becomes a story where the never ending expansion of the soul meets love in daily life.325 pages of amazing reading, 6x9 PB
