The memoir
Awakening in an Age of Metals
A journey through environmental illness, spiritual awakening, and one woman’s search for a different way forward.
“Awakening in an Age of Metals is a gripping story of what happens when you finally realize truths that have been hidden for decades. And then know what to do about them. This is a book of awareness and profound healing.”
