Welcome to the pages of Ladders to the Moon, a profound and evocative journey that intertwines the threads of past and present, reality and imagination, into a tapestry of resilience, self-discovery, and hope. This novel, a labor of love dedicated to those who seek to live authentically and share their unique gifts with the world, invites you to step into the life of Tara O'Connell-a woman whose story resonates with the echoes of countless souls who have faced adversity and emerged transformed.

From the shadowed corners of a troubled childhood in Toronto to the windswept hills of Ireland and the vibrant shores of Marseille, Tara's odyssey is one of courage and awakening. Her encounters with the enigmatic Mamó, the spirited Dana, and the steadfast Cado are more than mere chance; they are mirrors reflecting the inner strength she has yet to fully embrace. Through her, we explore the extraordinary lives of ordinary women across the ages-women like Clarice and Ama-whose struggles and triumphs ripple through time, challenging the illusion of linear existence.

This story is enriched by the wisdom of history and the arts, drawing inspiration from the likes of Georgia O'Keeffe and the historical insights of Dr. Michael Potterton. It is a testament to the power of intuition, as illuminated by the documentary, and a celebration of the Celtic heritage that pulses beneath Tara's journey. Yet, at its heart, Ladders to the Moon is a personal narrative-a call to recognize the divine within ourselves and to take responsibility for the paths we choose.

As you turn these pages, I encourage you to listen to the whispers of your own soul. Tara's story is not just hers; it is a reflection of the universal quest for meaning, the courage to break free from the bindings of others' expectations, and the joy of crafting a life that sings with authenticity. May this book inspire you to climb your own ladder to the moon-to reach for the infinite possibilities that await when you dare to be your truest self.

With gratitude

Step into a mesmerizing journey of resilience, self-discovery, and empowerment with Ladders to the Moon, the captivating final work from acclaimed author and trailblazer Ruth Garrett. This groundbreaking feminist fantasy marks her bold debut into fiction, weaving a tapestry of time-traveling tales that echo her lifelong mission to uplift women's voices.

Follow Tara O'Connell as she navigates a troubled past in Toronto, a transformative escape to Ireland, and a soul-stirring odyssey to Marseille. Guided by the enigmatic Mamó, the spirited Dana, and the steadfast Cado, Tara's path intertwines with the extraordinary lives of women across the ages-Clarice, a healer defying medieval constraints, and Ama, a warrior battling Roman oppression. Together, their stories challenge the illusion of linear time, revealing the infinite strength within.

A poignant reflection of Garrett's own battles, including her courageous fight against ovarian cancer, this novel is a testament to the power of authenticity and the courage to reclaim one's destiny. Published posthumously with love by her family, Ladders to the Moon is more than a story-it's a call to climb your own ladder to the infinite possibilities of life.
