The Jeweled Path

By Catherine MacDonald and Cathie MacDonald

Author: ?+ Cathie Macdonald Description:

Becca pondered the heaviness of Vicky's words. "...Its been so long since I've done something just for myself," she sighed. "I would feel incredibly guilty."

Vicky broke out into bubbly laughter. "Guilt-a male invention to keep women neatly in their place. I didn't tell you to fly first-class to Paris. I suggested taking a few days of R&R-you look peaked, rundown, and if you don't mind my bluntness, you look like I did five years ago. I've only known you a little while, but I feel you're at the beginning of The Jeweled Path."

After years of dealing with the daily trials of raising a family, Rebecca feels she is just floating along. While digging through some old trunks in the attic, she finds a picture of herself at nineteen, and wonders where the carefree girl from the picture has gone. She determines that she has to do something.

When she drops her son off at college, she meets a woman who suggests that she take a few days for herself to follow "The Jeweled Path." The path is littered with obstacles, but as she befriends spiritually-minded people, each new friend offers her a jewel of wisdom and Rebecca grows in strength and understanding, as if guided by unseen hands.

Excellent reading! Thoroughly recommended!

Rebecca Rossi is 45 years old. Her three teenage boys "...are riding a wild roller coaster of hormones." She no longer loves, nor trusts her husband since his affair with his secretary last year. Her never-to-be-satisfied mother-in-law lives with them. She can't sleep and the feeling that she must escape prevails.In her new page-turner of a novel, The Jeweled Path, author Catherine MacDonald takes the reader on an emotional ride through the downside of life. A life that even the strongest antidepressants can't help. While taking her oldest son to college, Becca learns about the jeweled path from another middle-aged mom. "It's the path all of us must travel. It is the journey of transformation at midlife. At midlife, the Self demands to be known."The Jeweled Path is the story of a revelation and transformation. Catherine MacDonald writes, oh so wisely and well, about the discovery of truth, beauty, enrichment, and happiness by finding trust and letting go of illusions and false beliefs. Instead of going home, Becca decides to stop and take a week for herself, to try to get her life together.In this time by herself, Rebecca Rossi faces challenges as never before, meets people who seem to be put in her path and learns lessons about herself that she had long forgotten. The scenario unfolds like a dress rehearsal of her next life, a rehearsal plotted and authored by a higher power.The Jeweled Path resonates with truth. Catherine MacDonald weaves a story the reader can identify and align with. Here is a saga filled with spirituality and metaphysical magic that will get you to keep turning pages. Most of all, though, The Jeweled Path will get you to think!
