An Inspirational Journey of Transformation Have you ever loved too hard, lost too much, or wondered how to piece it all back together? Author Nancy M. Britt, a 50-something year-old lesbian, found herself alone, in an emotional and spiritual crisis, after a series of failed relationships left her questioning everything she thought she knew about herself. Desperate to escape anxiety and depression, Nancy traveled alone to her ancestral homeland of Ireland.
From the hustle and bustle of Dublin, through the rural countryside, along the majestic sea cliffs, and eventually to the country's ancient burial grounds, Nancy soon discovered she was not alone. Instead, an inexplicable force pushed and pulled at her, often against her will, toward the healing and insights she so desperately sought.
A deeply moving memoir, Seven Days in the Mists tells the story of loneliness and connection, of love and loss, and above all else, of the opportunity for rebirth.

This story will make you believe there is something greater than us that will always guide us to where we need to be."-Gemma JacobDocumentary Filmmaker of Gentleman Jack Nation and Gentleman Jack Nation-Rise Above It
"...an intimate peek into the process of moving through one's Dark Night of the Soul. Nancy Britt shares an Ireland-centric, historical, and literary foray into her brief but brilliantly life-changing, brave, and lonely quest. Seven Days in the Mists manages to leave us with a sense of hopefulness and a deeper sense of connection to one another. Ultimately, it's a tale of the often-unseen energetic forces that dance within us and draw us closer."
