Georgina, a Jungian analyst, returns from her mother's funeral to discover her husband's affair. At the same time, her teenage daughter is suffering from suicidal depression. Georgina consults a shaman from Peru, an Irish mystic, an energy healer in Minnesota, five psychiatrists and four psychologists to help her child. Together mother and daughter learn the big lesson of life: nothing is done to you; it is done for you, so you can awaken.
Four stalwart friends accompany Georgina on this journey which carries her to the incandescent shore of her being, where she encounters her own heart.

There is a little town that time forgot. It's called Phoenicia. I grew up there, sleigh riding on Sister's Hill, swimming in the streams, playing ball behind the Parish Hall, being called home by the twelve o'clock whistle for tuna fish sandwiches, carrot sticks and cool aid, waiting for the school bus in front of Gordon's Drugstore. On Christmas Eve all the parents would put us to bed, {they thought}, leave and go from house to house have a different course of their midnight supper at each home. Pure magic.
Book Excerpt
When Every Breath Becomes a Prayer
“We had a great childhood. Do you remember sleigh riding in Phoenicia on Sister’s Hill? And ice skating on Kincade’s pond?”
