In the Shadow of Souls

"In The Shadow of Souls" is a non-profit book project sponsored by Phoenix Community Works Foundation, a non-profit, charitable Foundation which is dedicated to building healthy, sustainable communities and the arts and creativity.

A true story, "In The Shadow of Souls" came about through the author's desire to inspire hope and healing for women, children and men who find themselves trapped in abusive relationships and the tragic consequences of addiction.

Currently, we are raising funds to complete writing,editing, illustration and publishing of the book. Every little bit helps and all donations are appreciated. A percentage of sales of the book will be donated to The Red Door, a woman's shelter in Toronto. As well, free copies of the book will be given out to women using The Red Door.

"In the Shadow of Souls" is the true story of Droxy, a young mother, and her spiritual emergence from a long period of substance abuse and her marriage into a family of unsuccessful fraud artists and bank robbers. Her struggle to raise three children in an unstable world of drugs, alcohol, prison, virtual homelessness, mental illness and domestic violence is harrowing, and yet it is wonderfully balanced by memories of childhood, of singing at her preacher-grandfather's church and of being taught by her grandmother how to sew like a seamstress, a skill she would carry through life and use like a meditation in her worst moments.

"Under Writers Group" has been inspired to assist in the co-writing, editing and artwork in order to enable the author to self publish this work. I am working on this project under the umbrella of Phoenix Community Works Foundation.

Your donation will help see this dream realized.

Every little bit helps and donations of $35 or more will receive a tax receipt for income tax purposes.
