Avalon Blue, past sixty, hides the secret spiritual initiations that have held her hostage, forcing her to remain a loner traveling the world in eccentric clothes of her own design. She would much rather be with others, but is forced into isolation and loneliness until she travels to Winter's Lee, a small northern fishing village. It is here that she meets Lucian and Melanie, who are cousins and best friends. They are Travelers who have settled back into Winter's Lee, expecting to be bored and lonely through old age.

However, everything changes when Avalon unexpectedly arrives in Winter's Lee and flings herself into their arms like a muddy, squalling little messenger, bringing with her an emotional, imaginative journey involving Shamans, animal totems, tattoos, and a mysterious island, disrupting their sedate lives. Avalon is hiding the animal tattoos she received there under a clothing line she developed to conceal them. She lives a sad, lonely life as a runaway hermit and accepts that her Spirit teachers have tasked her to tend to her life lessons in an indigenous way that might raise questions in other cultures.

This is an awesome, inspiring, humorous story of an odd, misplaced, illustrated older woman's journey through a life that pushes her into a bigger understanding of life. Charming and ditzy, Avalon makes her way through a life woven with ageless magic to eventually meet another lost soul who is her match and mate. Lucian is in love with her. Melanie is in love with Bart. This is an amazing story of people where the never-ending expansion of the soul meets each one in daily life. 6x9 inches. Page Count: 325.
