Melanie Ifield's Blog: Writing with Illness - Posts Tagged "exclusive"

Exclusive to Amazon Kindle, the compelling fictional biography about the strength of one woman who overcomes her domineering family background to discover the joys of walking her own path in life.
In this part biographical fiction, part spiritual fiction, the heroine of Listening to Echoes of her Self learns to listen to her inner voice and even finds the intuition to commune with the Voice of Nature.

Have you even woken up one day and wondered how you ended up with the life you are now living? Do you have hidden cravings for something different? Something more, or a life that is bigger?

“There are rules that everyone lives by. They can be imposed upon you, placed around you like a comforting blanket, or hardwired into the society within which you are born. These rules confine and restrict. There are very few that open and urge…
Sometimes, however, someone comes along who feels the weight of these rules. They see the bars of their cage and wonder how things got to this point? They speculate on the need to change and how to go about it. They work on making their lives ‘fit’ the hungers of what is on the inside; not the platitudes of what lies on the outside.
These people feel the freedom of wind on their faces, allow the wind to blow through their hearts and reach out with desire to what lies beyond.” Excerpt from Listening to Echoes of her Self.

After living a small life for years, the heroine of Listening to Echoes of her Self wakes up to realise – the only person holding her back is herself. At the grand age of 90, she looks back over her life, back to the day she now believes was her moment of truth: her coming of age.

Sixty years ago she faced the monumental realisation that nothing she had done up to that point had made her happy. Confronted with the idea that nothing in her life made sense, she set about changing everything.
