A quirky philosophical novel to inspire the seekers of the heart and mind. Precocious 13-year-old Klara Tippins lives in a refurbished convent in upstate New York with her unwholesome family; a psychopathic brother, a narcissistic mother, and a distant father. It sounds dire, yes, but this is Klara, a starbeing from a distant planet with friends in 'high' places. Friends who give her guidance in her sleep. At least that's what she hopes, for, if she's to be honest, she can't remember much when she wakes up. As the story moves, Klara encounters three belief systems: Quakerism, which leads her to people, Q'ero Shamanism, which connects her with nature, and Hinduism, which provides an understanding of the world and her place in it. Lighthearted, yet profound, Linn Aspen uses humor and ancient wisdom to show a path to resilience as Klara reaches beyond her circumstances so that, ultimately, she can reach within herself.
