“One of the best memoirs I have ever read [and, along with Knife by Salman Rushdie, one of the finest nonfiction books of 2024]…
…a starry guide to your true self, to healing, to resilience, to a deeper connection and more meaningful life…
…A story overflowing with magical moments, mysterious coincidences, memorable scenes of love and kindness, tragedy and despair, courage and moving forward. This book is a marvelous journey, a treasure chest of revealed truths and hidden gems.
Linda Sandel Pettit has walked the walk, ridden the wild ride, and then come back from the journey to bring us wisdom, insights, and hope. A page turner and a joy to read from the first page to the last…”
Michael Pastore, Zorba Editing
“The nature of the individual human spirit is one of romance – we humans are all really poets, pirates and lovers.”
Richard Rudd, Author, The Gene Keys: Embracing your higher purpose
This book is for you..
This book was written for all the poets, pirates and lovers who have never quite fit in, who have wondered who and what God is, who have always known there was something inside them wanting to be free and who have felt the despair of lost love, human suffering, tragic mistakes, and earth-shaking grief.
It is FACT that if you know where to look, LOVE is guiding you through all of it…one thought, one intuitive knowing, one mystical synchronicity and one heartbeat at a time. LOVE only asks that you LISTEN, TRUST, and LOOK always for BEAUTY. Don’t wait another minute to SEE the intuitive way of LOVE unfolding in YOUR life.
Not just a memoir, a breakthrough understanding of the connection between mental well-being and spiritual consciousness.

Hi! I'm Dr. Linda
Award Winning Author, Speaker, and Personal Consultant
I have done a 50-year gig as a writer, a 40-year gig in counseling psychology, and a 20-year gig as a spiritual mentor.
My writing, speaking, and mentoring are guided by listening to and honoring the intelligence of the heart.
This type of listening is not passive. It is fiercely sensitive and sensitively fierce. It is a creative act that draws forth perfect wisdom from the silence, from the spiritual intelligence that underlies all of life.
