Review: A delightful gem with sage wisdom and lighthearted humor.

Lacey Jordan loves the quaint, little mountain town of Divine, but her life is a different story. After losing her job, she’s filled with worry about what to do next. When a meddling, know-it-all aunt comes for an extended visit, Lacey’s life becomes even more unmanageable. She hikes in the mountains to find solace and get away from it all. She’s also hoping to find a local legend, Old Mountain Cassie. She doesn’t know why, but she’s drawn to the old woman.

This intriguing, delightful story speaks to the seeker in all of us. Like Lacey, we’re propelled forward in life, looking for something that leads to happiness. Money, security, a relationship, there are many roads taken to fulfill that which we crave. Most of us don’t dare believe that happiness might be much closer than we think.

When Lacey finds Old Mountain Cassie, she’s given a chance to have it all. However, having it all means that Lacey has to relinquish her normal mindset and apply what she’s taught. Lacey is determined to give it her best.

Old Mountain Cassie’s connection to nature is a magical experience that demonstrates possibilities most humans never have a chance to know. And the author describes it all in a way that transports the reader to the mountains and the woods. There they can experience that magic too.

Old Mountain Cassie shares her sage wisdom and beautiful insights with Lacey and the reader. But most important are her three lessons. They ring true and could be excellent stepping stones to true happiness. They’re lessons that each of us can embrace. If we do, we might just find that inner joy we’ve been looking for. This is a highly recommended story. Its pages are filled with the inspiration that’s often lacking in our everyday lives!
