Between Now and Forever

by Margaret Duarte

Medicate or nurture; reform or set free. These are quandaries rookie teacher Marjorie Veil faces when she takes on an after-school class of thirteen-year-olds labeled as troublemakers, unteachable, and hopeless. Faculty skeptics warn that all these kids need is prescribed medication for focus and impulse control. But as Marjorie soon discovers, behind their anti-conformist exteriors are gifted teens, who are sensitive, empathetic, and wise beyond their youth. They also happen to have psychic abilities, which they have kept hidden until now. Can Marjorie help them do what she has failed to do for fight for their spiritual and emotional freedom? Laced with a symbolic dose of physics and the mystical, Between Now and Forever , is a result of the author's twenty-year fascination with the remarkable parallels between science and spirituality.
