We meet Pandora at a crossroad in her life. Mike, her first love and second husband, has just died from a heart attack and she is feeling overwhelmed with grief. He was the love of her life, her soul mate: Now she is questioning how she can go on without him.
Fascinating, interesting, introspective and well written, this could be your story or someone else’s, but regardless, it is a story about coming of age, at whatever age that maybe!
Her former employee talks her into attending a service at a spiritualist chapel where it would seem the voice of Mike was channelled, telling her he had not suffered and that he loved her.
Pandora takes all this with a grain of salt but towards the end of the evening the essence of a Higher Power comes through to Pandora, who lets her know that she must return to her meditation and she will eventually be able to connect with him. Him turns out to be Enoch.
As she returns home after the evening she begins to reflect on her life to date: on the various people and relationships she has known who go to make up her past.
The story winds along as life often does with people coming in and out of Pandora’s life for many and differing reasons. She hears her first husband Jay’s wife has died and decides to contact him with her commiserations which, as things tend to do in Pandora’s story, lead onto further revelations on her past which makes an interesting addition to her journey of transformation.
As with all things in life, particularly Pandora’s, nothing happens without a purpose, especially when you have someone like Enoch leading you towards your ultimate destiny.
Fascinating, interesting, introspective and well written, this could be your story or someone else’s, but regardless, it is a story about coming of age, at whatever age that maybe!
A great read.
