Seven years after their deaths, Holly is living an anonymous life of self-punishment and penance in Chicago. She believes there are certain things a person can never expect forgiveness for, and having sex with your lover while your husband and little girl burn to death certainly tops that list.But when a mysterious old woman named Clem moves into the apartment below Holly’s, her world begins to shift. After being reunited with Grace and Noel, Holly begins to experience an alternate reality, one that asks her to release all she’s ever known or believed about truth and the world and step into a life of miracles and magic.With Clem’s guidance, Holly learns to take the steps that will allow her to forgive herself and open up to a reality she never dreamed existed.Clem tells Holly forgiveness is imperative, as she is being called to take her place among the Circle of Sisters, a secret society of women who will usher in the dawning of a new age for all humankind. Can Holly forgive herself and let go of the world as she knows it, and make the choice to step into this life of mystery and magic that’s calling her?
