On vacation at her favorite lake in the Canadian woods, the storyteller, through a sequence of encounters with remarkable animals and other beings, explores the history of the moonstone and awakens at the gateway to a magical new world. This rich, wondrous story tells of the adventure of a young woman discovering how to face and overcome her fears. The message of this book --that the magic of visions, imagination, and spiritual teachers is to be celebrated rather than hidden away -- is uplifting and encouraging. So may people turn away from this kind of open thought; it is remarkable to find a book that explores it so frankly and thoroughly, without shying away from the intensity of such experience.
