Gaia's Gift
by Fran Orenstein
Genre: Contemporary, paranormal, romantic novel of love, loss, and
redemption
Rachel Wells loses everything she cherishes in a brief summer
storm off the coast of Florida . Haunted by the ghosts of her past, driven
to the point of insanity by survivor's guilt, Rachel turns her back on the world and
retreats to a deserted island with her cat. Here she plans to live out her life in isolation,
frozen behind an impenetrable veil of pain. That is, until she receives a gift from the
sea that opens a slit in the veil and allows the world to intrude. Ignoring her
conscience, Rachel learns too late that some gifts are not meant to be kept forever, and
that forgiveness and redemption sometimes require sacrifice. The gods and spirits
watch as the many layers of love unfold to reveal a complex
finale.
