Synopsis

2018 PINNACLE BOOK ACHIEVEMENT AWARD/WINNER IN FANTASY; 2016 PUBLISHERS WEEKLY STARRED REVIEW; 2015 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE BOOK AWARD FINALIST. Isabella and the Tale of the Unanswered Question explores the question “where does the spirit go when the body hovers between life and death?” Layered story lines link the inner and outer worlds of an unnamed woman brutalized in a vicious urban attack. The first tracks the consequences of the assault as the woman slips into a coma. While those around her struggle with one reality, the woman’s spirit begins a life review of a very different kind. Written as a dark fairy tale, the reader follows timid 11-year-old Isabella to the mysterious Lower World where animals speak, a vicious predator stalks her journey and a royal ribbon empowers the wearer to ask one million questions. Guided by the raven, Nightwalker, Isabella meets the king who sets before her the task of finding a priceless book that holds the key to the kingdom's fate. Isabella’s journey is one of mystery, magic, terror, and surprising twists and revelations that leaves the reader guessing until the final page.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Like Isabella we each have a unique life story. Mine begins in 1953, born to Serbian parents, growing up in a small town in northern Illinois. Looking back I realize as a child I often reflected on “what makes someone happy?” Though the question remained unanswered for years, I continued searching for a secret map that would show me the way to happiness. Professionally I followed a trail marked by change and growth through such diverse jobs as a correctional supervisor, a community organizer, a Fortune 500 business consultant, an advocate for survivors of gun violence and trauma, a creativity coach and most recently a psychotherapist in private practice. Personally, I explored that question through education, spirituality, meditation, personal growth, creativity, nature, animals (I have two cats – Jillian and JoAnn, 40 fish, countless outdoor feathered friends, deer and creatures that snuffle in the night), family and friends. Somewhere around my fortieth year clarity began. As I turned sixty, I found the answer to what makes me happy: kindness in all its infinite expressions. Cordially, Linda Whittaker June 2014
