This is the year Emily Ross takes control of her destiny and learns to deliberately shape the future. Emily has always known she is different. She attracts spirits, has prophetic dreams, and can sense people’s thoughts. Longing to fit in, she hides her true self. But this changes when she takes a job at the fabulous curio shop owned by Henry Paradis, an occult scholar who becomes her spiritual mentor. Recognizing her talents as the valuable gifts they are, Henry teaches Emily to accept her magical nature and “look forward.” Emily chooses the path to light. She finds lifelong friends, falls in love, learns the power of desire and intention, faces her worst fears, and is swept toward awakening.
