When the Birds Stopped Singing, the latest fantasy book by Chic Spiritualist, Karla Trippe, blends the author's knowledge of the metaphysical world and abuse to tell a magical story. Aligned with National Child Abuse Prevention Month, the book centers on Caroline Howard, a young girl who experiences a traumatic childhood. The fictional story includes spirituality to help teach people how the practice can better their lives. In the forests of Colorado, Caroline meets Serena, a wood nymph. Secretly, Serena instructs Caroline in different spiritual modalities to help the girl as she struggles with abuse, deathly sicknesses, and bullying. Serena introduces Caroline to her spirit animals, takes her on journeys to the lower and upper worlds, and imparts the true wisdom of God and the universe. With Serena's help, Caroline uncovers the purpose of her current life's incarnation and discovers love along the way. According to the U.S. Review of Books, "While Caroline finds heartache with her family, she develops a unique bond with Serena, one where Serena imparts ancient wisdom and provides Caroline with a mentor whom she can seek in her time of need. It is through this hero's journey structure that Trippe expertly conveys some of the most important elements of spirituality and its innate power for healing." "Fusing spiritual conversations about chakras and the third eye with abominable acts of abuse and dehumanization, the author directly appeals to abuse victims to show them the pathway to healing their trauma. In many ways, Trippe is the Serena to the countless Carolines reading her work." "Child abuse is an epidemic in the United States," says Trippe, author of When the Birds Stopped Singing. "As a trained Shaman and reader of the Akashic Records, I wanted to bring the truth of how abuse feels and its ramifications to the reader so we can begin to reduce the number of abused children, as well as, show victims how spirituality can help with healing. I hope that people will want to learn more about the metaphysical world after reading this book. God wants us to stop fighting about religion and to use the knowledge we are born with." Karla Trippe pens a weekly blog about female empowerment, spirituality, and traumatic healing. Visit https: //www.karlatrippe.com to read more.
