What I love about this whole series (The Visible and the Invisible won't let me review it yet) is how real the stories are. Maybe the characters are from Beca's imagination, but what they are experiencing? I think the world has to agree at this point that there is too much evidence to support all these gifts to deny that there is MUCH more to the world than we can experience with our five senses. And to use these gifts to actually help those who need it? Yep. I'm in for all of that.
This is an incredible story of a gift beyond belief. Alice thought she was crazy when she would sleep and feel as if she was inhabiting someone else's mind. Then she met others with the same calling--other people with the gift of answering the call when others needed support and help to survive. This story will give you goose bumps and bring tears--both happy and sad. A powerful, short read not to be missed. My favorite lines are: "She wasn't saving the world. But she was saving someone's world." I would rate it a ten out of five. Extraordinary.
I love this story. Moon Castillo shows true courage when she acts on the visions that are overwhelming her despite believing much of her life that she might be crazy. Meeting the Mohican woman, Estelle, makes her realize the full magnitude of her gift and the reason she doesn't like the developer pushing for going forward without an assessment of the dam. This story highlights the need to be open to the messages the living world sends us and being brave enough to act on them even when you don't fully understand them. Highly recommended.
