Althaea

About the Book

When Sonia, a 17-year-old runaway, visited a traveling fortuneteller, she didn't know what to expect. The fortuneteller spoke of Sonia's infant daughter, Althaea. "Raise her in a peaceful environment. She has potential beyond what I have seen." The words of the fortuneteller haunted Sonia, who couldn't have guessed what was in store for her, or her daughter.

When the mysterious "elders" showed up at Sonia's doorstep, everything was about to change. Virtual strangers, they became an integral part in the lives of both Sonia and Althaea, for better or for worse, before leaving on that fateful day.

The experiences, relationships and decisions made by both Sonia and Althaea slowly mold their destiny. Join Sonia who is torn between her love for Althaea and her despair over the loss of her dreams as she tries to climb hurdles and make the life she wants. Join Althaea as she innocently discovers who she is and the reality behind her existence.

"The truth does not require your belief but what you believe will seem to be the truth."
