A MYSTICAL EMBRACE

Geneva, an emergency room doctor, and Y, an NHL hockey player who has a wife and children back home in Sweden, are the central characters in the three-book Bond Series. They have a scintillating love affair which consequently produces a child, Krystian, who becomes their precious bond. Honour, integrity and the fear of becoming celebrity-fodder for the media takes Y home to his family, leaving Geneva to be a single-parent.

This stunning saga beautifully unfolds the lives of a cast of unforgettable characters from Canada (including First Nations), Sweden, Africa and Ireland who break your heart yet can piece it back together again.

The books take on many of the ambivalent and contradictory dimensions of the human experience, dealing with poignant subjects such as: enduring love, death, dying, mental illness, betrayal, grief, adoption, true friendship and the devastating disease – ALS.

Yet, throughout, there is an underlying flow of an unpredictable grace which is filled with compassion and understanding – an infusion of springtime into the winters of bleakness.

The human encounters are so intimate that they can unravel every texture of one’s being and even, at times, illuminate the heart.

There was a constant spill-over of pure affection between Geneva and Y. The spirit of which was an affinity that held their kinship warm even through adversity and many years of separation. The space between them becomes a latent field for the growth of endless possibilities.

In the third book of the series, A Mystical Embrace subtitled Our Rekindled Bond, a possibility blossoms.
