Avery Victoria Spencer is the woman who forgot who she was--before trauma-induced amnesia erased a slice of her story, her marriage, her family. Nearly twenty years later, Avery's becoming more conscious of who she really is.Two incredible inner journeys have brought her to a deeper understanding of herself and her power to create a wonderful life. She's kinder to herself and others, and at long last has made amends with her strange and withdrawn father. Even love has peeked out timidly in the person of George Robert Logan, a man with whom she is enjoying a platonic relationship, while hoping for more.

But Avery stumbles over two tough patches in her life journey: her father dies, leaving her with no sense of her family's past, and George disappears suddenly. His father in London has had a heart attack, he claims. Avery thinks otherwise because their attempt at intimacy has failed miserably. Torn apart by grief and outrage, Avery can't get out of bed, much less go to work.

A three-month leave of absence is arranged as Avery goes through what is rumored among social circles to be a 'mid-life crisis,' a.k.a. 'second Saturn return,' a.k.a. 'Dark Night of the Soul.' Whatever it's called, Avery stubbornly refuses to request any assistance from her inner realm, where powerful forces are still at work. Instead, she clutches her bed sheets refusing to embrace who she is becoming. But life has a work-around.

Avery's third journey lands her in a very small cave, surrounded by shadows of grieving and fearful women who comfort her, until an intimidating and angry mountain threatens to turn her to shadow as well, if she refuses to face her rage. It could be Avery's last chance to become real. She must complete her course, no matter how terrifying. Every irritation, every morsel of disquiet, every piece of unresolved bitterness shows up on her mountain trek-not for her to battle, but for her to love and embrace. Underneath her rageaholic tendencies, she will find her full and real self-which includes both her masculine and feminine energies. It's called wholeness. 

Avery has never been a champion of femininity ('wimpy females' is how she refers to those of her own gender), and is obviously uncomfortable with her own sexuality. As she faces her mountain, she encounters an enormous serpent, claiming to be from the Garden of Eden. Terrified of snakes, Avery would run away if she could, but their meeting occurs on a narrow mountain ledge about 11,000 feet above sea level. There is no escape. At least, both she and her slithering guide like cigars.

It's that last piece-love-that Avery needs before she can return to her life and face everything she had chosen to forget. If she can do that, she will be strong enough to move into full acceptance of who she really is, restoring herself from a heart-breaking past and stepping into true love. For without love, all is lost.

The thing about buried trauma is that it doesn't stay buried; Life wakes it up. The Avery Victoria Spencer Fables are an intimate series of stories that brought this author to an authentic life. Welcome to Book Three: The Woman Who Found Her Fire.

Set in the charming historical city of Waukesha, Wisconsin, an inspired fable of a woman with a forgotten past, and a life calling her forward to restore her true wholeness.
