THE SEED OF SOVEREIGNTY BLOOMS
FORGED IN HER SOUL
What you'll discover
Life is an ongoing spiral of circles: the sacred hoop of birth, death, and rebirth. Frances is a modern American mystic, a curandera and a chingona of sorts. She has arrived in the autumn phase of her life—a time when a woman possesses wisdom from all her lifelong experiences. She has been pursuing her soul’s journey of decolonization. Frances feels firm in her beliefs and convictions—until a schism begins to form, signaling her to pay attention. It’s not until she trips and falls into the crevice that she is able to pick herself up and step into the sacred hoop of life, rebirthing herself once again. Join Frances as she navigates toward the threshold of the last quarter of her life.
