The Dreamtidings of a Disgruntled Starbeing: Life With a Psychopathic Brother - Hardcover

by Linn Aspen (Author)

Precocious 13-year-old Klara Tippins lives in a refurbished convent in upstate New York with her cumbersome family. She has a mission (of which she is only vaguely aware) and though her star family is there to help, she's not convinced of their presence and can't remember the guidance they give her while she sleeps.

Her inability to remember her dreams is understandable, though regrettable, as growing up in a household with a psychopath is anything but easy. The general advice, when around such people, is to get away. But what do you do when a predator is right there as you take your first step and you have nowhere to run?

As Klara navigates the perplexity of her family, she encounters three belief systems (Hinduism, Quakerism, and Q'ero Shamanism) that set her on a journey of self-discovery.

A heartfelt novel about forgiveness and the power of self-acceptance.
