Is Gypsy imagining the whispers and sparks of light hushing and glistening around the mysterious veil Janna is wearing? And why does Janna forbid her touching it?
Just before her fifteenth birthday, Gypsy's life takes a catastrophic turn. The folio she had slaved over to win a scholarship to Art College is wrecked in a crazy schoolboy skirmish.
Gripped with misery, she finds herself in the park with her dog. Is it fate that leads her to an encounter with Janna, an artist wearing an intriguing veil? After suggesting Gypsy's sodden pieces may not have been good enough to win a scholarship, Janna offers to coach Gypsy to produce new art pieces.
Gypsy's ten-day struggle to pick up the pieces of her dream is entwined with realising ancient wisdom; a journey of self-awareness with school friends; jealousy; and betrayal- including her own disloyalty to Janna.
A fabulous and mystical event where the amazing veil transforms her into an Egyptian Priestess and she undertakes a sacred journey the Temple of Lunu leads to a dawning realisation of the cosmic significance of the wisdom all around is if we look, see and hear; and a destiny she feels she must embrace.
Spencer, Jacqui K.: - Hi, I'm Jacqui and I care about nurturing the hearts and minds of children and teens through imagining, writing and publishing stellar stories.My values include helping one another; respecting our unique soul and individual journey; encouraging young people to explore positive and intriguing paths; and communicating through the language of love of life.I am inspired by creating imaginative plots, characters and themes that give different perspectives on life through the fabulous frontiers of contemporary and ancient wisdom. I like to think of it as turning the kaleidoscope for a new, different and colourful picture, which can inspire the way we think about our today and tomorrows irrespective of age or circumstances.I've taken many paths in life sometimes zigging when I should have been zagging; contributing to roles including in government, equal opportunity, education and training, as a massage therapist in my own business and as an astrologer. My qualifications include a Bachelor of Business Studies, a Graduate Diploma in Education and certificates in Massage Therapy and other healing arts. I'm also a qualified Astrologer and a Professional Member Federation of Australian Astrologers. All experiences along the road have and continue to expand my heart and soul; and shaped, through welcoming in or letting go, an always increasing consciousness of wisdom and love.Energising influences include relaxing at the sea; enjoying music; connecting with the planets; tarot; having fun with friends and family; a daily dose of humour; and exploring life's mysteries. Expanding my consciousness through, for example, sacred journeys to Egypt and exploring wisdom have extended my imagination and fascination with hidden truths, which tend to be overlooked in the hustle and bustle of daily responsibilities.No matter which zig or which zag I'm on, story writing remains the constant in my life journey where I connect heaven and earth for children and teens to read, reread, think and talk about.
