Produktbeschreibung

What if everything you thought you knew about your life was a lie but you couldn't remember the truth? And what if your body did remember and used physical symptoms to get your attention? If you confronted the truth, would your body heal? Would healing also demand that you forgive those who hurt you, lied to you, and betrayed you?

Emergency doctor Sean Thomas must answer these questions to get his life back. His journey to the truth takes him down paths that challenge all he knows about healing, about relationships, and about life.

One cold November Seattle morning, Sean is nearly run over by a speeding SUV that then plunges over an embankment, crashing onto the highway 40 feet below. Sean saves six-year-old Michael Brennan who remains comatose in the same hospital Sean was in when he survived events that killed his family decades earlier.

After the boy's rescue Sean begins to have physical symptoms that force him onto medical leave. But more troubling is that during his "episodes" he travels to another realm in which he meets Michael's dead sister, and eventually others. There he learns that his path and Michael's are inextricably linked with similarities between his childhood and Michael's that raise painful questions.

Feeling like he's going crazy, Sean is determined to find out the truth. "The past is dead, Sean, leave it be," his bitter, broken aunt who raised him always said. But Sean knows he must uncover the secrets that have haunted him all his life and that now prevent him from working as a doctor. Secrets that have kept him from having the only things he's ever truly wanted: love and family.

Sean's journey upends everything he knows and believes. And after he learns the painful, horrible truth about his past, it will take all his emotional, spiritual, and psychological courage to forgive those who harmed him and move toward the healing he needs and the love he so desperately wants.

The Secrets Underneath is a story about how our choices to love and forgive - or to hold onto anger and resentment - affect our lives. The story illustrates the transformational power of love and the connection between physical healing and acceptance, forgiveness, and mercy.

Autorenporträt

Born in New York City, I moved ten times before my 20th birthday, torture for a natural introvert with curly hair and glasses. But constantly being an outsider developed empathy in me that served me well in my relationships and through the next 30 or so relocations as an adult. I wouldn't think of trading stability for empathy, so I guess everything worked out as it was supposed to.

So, who am I? In order of development: I am a child of divine Love, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. These are the relationships that have shaped me, and have brought me the greatest joys and the most profound sorrows.

In no particular order: I have become a writer, editor, mentor, spiritual director, coach, trainer, television show host, singer, skier, jewelry maker, dress maker, gardener, and hospice volunteer (It's easy to reinvent yourself with so many moves).

It's taken a lifetime of trial and error to learn the most important things I know about being human and to find joy in that. So, what have I learned?

I have learned the spiritual practice of beingness from my dogs and the spiritual practice of living in the Now from babies (and from death). I have learned I can accept the things I cannot change, and I can love (or at the very least appreciate) them—from the mundane, like my curly hair and glasses, to the profound like my mother's passing into eternity. Life is what it is.

What I've come to know is that relationships break our hearts open and when our hearts are open, the Light shines in and love flows out.

Concepts I live by: Live consciously and joyfully in the present moment Forgive the past Accept what can't be changed Be grateful Everyone suffers, so be merciful

My stats: I am a communications professional with three decades of experience in writing, editing, media, public relations, marketing, corporate training, event planning, and fundraising (ah, those many moves again!).

All of these jobs were interesting and fun. But none were truly fulfilling. Writing, and helping other writers, is something I can be passionate about.
