    About this ebook

    Forest Epiphany, A Lone Hiker’s Tale, takes the reader with Paige as she counts down the months, and then weeks, and then days until her eagerly awaited annual birthday weekend in the Great Smoky Mountains. Paige strives to excel in her legal career but at the same time, she is trying to find peace within herself while living a big city lifestyle in Florida. Paige’s hectic daily life makes her long for her yearly forest getaway all the more.

    The style of writing leads the reader to physically experience Paige’s hikes with her, with vivid descriptions of the sights, smells and sounds, as well as the people and Spirit Animals that she encounters along the way. The novel transitions from causing outright laughter to inspiring the reader’s introspection about the search for fulfillment in their own everyday lives. Although a leisurely and upbeat read, in the end, the reader will be moved by the personal epiphanies that the story inspires within them.

    If you want to get absorbed in a story, the kind of novel that you don’t want to put down until you know how it ends, this is the book for you. It is light, yet, thought provoking and insightful. Come on – let’s go!

      Diary Of A Country Mouse

      THURSDAY, 10 DECEMBER. Giles shows us the sample mice and I am, as if for the first time, overcome with joy. Perhaps when I was a child I had feelings like this—but not in many years. I look, for instance, at a small gray mouse, smaller than the othe
