I Know Now (ePub)

This is a three-part story of survival, healing and profound spiritual awakening.

On a cold autumn night in 1981, 19-year-old Cinda wakes to a stranger. He attacks. For three hours, she uses her wits to defend and prevent his multiple attempts to rape and kill her. After she tricks him into leaving, another real nightmare begins. Fear-filled days and weeks of suspense follow as the perpetrator stalks her. Despite the dedicated work of police and a caring detective, attempts to catch him are unsuccessful.

After years of pretending the incident never happened, a storm of events crashes into Cinda's life bringing with it horrific memories. Now a mother of two young children, Cinda tries to keep her family safe as the unresolved trauma surfaces. Struggling with a sense of endangerment, vulnerability and fragile sanity, she collapses in despair and surrenders to her demons. But, instead of the devil, a benevolent power shows up. Mystical and magical forces guide her through a profound ritual of healing.

Now in mid-life, Cinda is once again awakened in the middle of the night. This time she is not afraid. She hears a message: "It is time. Look for the signs." She spends the next two years looking back over her life using a process she calls 'sacred insight.' What she learns, and the signs she finds, reveals profound truths.
