The Fool and the Magician: A Memoir of Love Told in Tarot Readings

By Angela Lam

On the cusp of forty, Angela Lam consults with a tarot reader for career advice and receives the following prediction: she will find a new job and, while there, she will meet a man who will heal her heart. Already married with children, Angela tells her husband who is unconcerned about what the cards reveal. But when the prediction threatens to manifest, will Angela's family fall apart?

This true story will inspire you to reexamine the definitions of midlife crisis and spiritual awakening as well as challenge the roles of fate and free will in your life.

Longlisted for the 2022 Memoir Magazine Book Award for "a powerful depiction of the transformational power of memoir."
