Althia''s Awakening is based on true events in the life of a Montreal fashion model. A spiritually aware girl in a self-centered world, Althia uses her gut instinct and street smarts, along with numerous experiences from her Greek family, to guide her through the darkest pit of self-abuse to the light of universal acceptance. Uncanny clairvoyant talents and a generous heart make her the envy of her "friends" and coworkers. She is a pioneering woman of the New Age! Althia''s Awakening recounts a spiritual awakening that moves through the challenges of sexual desire, drug abuse, family secrets, death, revenge, and mystery. This awakening begins when Althia begins seeing herself as different from her party-going, drug-snorting friends; she is faintly aware of "energies" given off by other people and begins putting this awareness to use. What is this feeling? How does she cope with it and the people around her? Where does it come from? These are the questions she must find answers to. Through it all, Althia falls in love, rediscovers her connection to a universal God, and learns to love herself for who she is. Althia''s Awakening is the first volume in a trilogy that weaves together a story within the glamorous and often tragic world of fashion models. It leads readers on a moral and spiritual adventure that will keep them spellbound. Part of the proceeds from this novel will help to support orphanages around the world.
