Book Overview
An over-worked healthcare manager never dreamed she'd find the cure for her loneliness among the paranormal inhabitants of a futuristic prison. Nor did she suspect that a stranger far away would be watching her every move. Yet, that is exactly how Sophia Deming discovered the secret to an authentic life.
Sophia Deming, a Canadian expatriate working miserably in a Florida health system, is desperate to find a more meaningful life. On a trip to see her sisters Cynthia and Louise in Canada, she visits a psychic therapist, John Burns, hoping for some answers, but she is skeptical of his far-fetched forecast and returns to her life in Florida feeling just as hopeless and lost as before.
Sophia's true path of self-awareness begins with the unlikely discovery of her dead mother's play entitled "The Antiquity", about a disillusioned biomedical scientist, Russell Durnin, who finds confirming evidence for his research on happy pills called the 500's in a futuristic commune. Strange events and misfortunes begin to occur in Sophia's life that mirror those of Durnin and the predictions made by Burns, the psychic, who can remotely view her as well as the ghosts, tricksters, and imps that accompany Sophia during the course of her strange adventures.
As a production of "The Antiquity" gets underway, family drama is at an all-time high and Sophia is entrenched in her duties as the selfless custodian of her sisters' calamities. On opening night, however, when a portrait of Sophia's mother is unveiled upon the stage, a family secret reveals the reason for Sophia's emotional captivity.
"Dead Mentors" is a hauntingly beautiful novel in three dimensions of reality about three sisters and one woman's magical and perilous search for truth that examines the quest for self-awareness, demonstrates the importance of family, and confirms the power of love.
