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.

You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
