Is it ever too late to discover who you really are? Awakening Aphrodite is a visionary women's fiction novel about Eve's daring quest to find the goddess within and the man of her dreams. It is a story of transformation, of loving, longing and letting go, which celebrates listening to one's inner voice and spiritual guidance, even if it challenges conventional thinking about age and being a woman. And, a love story with a twist, where Eve wants to discover who she really is and to love herself first, before finding true love again. The echo to a long-lost consciousness is at the heart of 59-year-old widowed Eve's quest to let go of the past, to emerge from the shadow world she has been hiding in, and to awaken to life and living again, by reconnecting with the beauty of life and the possibility that love could still be there. Internet dating bring only frogs and the wrong kind of men, yet it reawakens her passion, desires and her secret longing, to discover within herself, Aphrodite - Goddess of Love, Beauty and Desire. Despairing of finding the man of her dreams, Eve realises she needs greater awareness of her sexual self. Like her coveted orchids, she senses an imminent bud that must bloom.Casting aside her vulnerability and naiveté, doubts, fears and cultural conditioning, Eve embarks upon an audacious quest - an exploration of mind, body and spirit, culminating in a series of Lessons in Loving with Anthony, a handsome, young male escort - in which she confronts the demons of the past and reclaims her sexual power, allowing the goddess within to emerge. And, to find love again.Set in New Jersey, Awakening Aphrodite moves through the seasons in Eve's lush garden of delights, in harmony with the rhythms of nature and the cycles of the moon, as Eve marks her sacred rite of passage from widow to woman to goddess. It is a heart-warming celebration of a woman reclaiming her true power and sense of self and the transformative power of love. Especially self-love, even after sixty.
