The Argentine Mirror

The Argentine Mirror (suspense novel)

One unexpected tornado, one secret wish, and one swift spike slashed Beryl into a coma. Though she can no longer see or hear our world, she can sense the drama of it, she can imagine the wonder of it, and she can explore its clever secrets.

The wise and mysterious Galcarta narrates Beryl's plots, coaxing us along side a variety of unforgettable and cantankerous characters into this search for the transforming Secrets of Solomon.

While this suspense thriller keeps us entertained, like Beryl we are frequently forced to confront the deeply hidden reasons we keep the search alive. Like Beryl we ponder whether this world is nothing more than a remedial school in which many exist to repeat, time and again, the same old lessons because they just don't get it. For a few a new realm opens. These few discover that there is indeed a way to create our long desired second chance. And so life begins again.
