Guest Author - Book Review by Karen E. Ledbetter

A letter is delivered to world-famous supermodel, Natalia McCrory. The mysterious author of the letter claims to know the Peruvian-born model’s birth mother. The letter sets Natalia on a course of self-discovery and investigation into her cultural roots.

Natalia finds herself at a spiritual retreat, where she confides in the priest about the letter, the fact that she was adopted, and her guilty feelings over never having any previous curiosity about her adoption.

While at the retreat, Natalia begins a spiritual journey while walking through a rose-shaped labyrinth. Through her spiritual self-discovery and journey to learning the truth about both her birth and adoptive families, Natalia faces dark family secrets that wound her spirit.

This uplifting story about a young woman’s journey to self-discovery, happiness, and love, is told with splendid serenity and spirit. The story is excellently written, flowing from chapter to chapter, and held my interest like few books I’ve read recently. It contains a wonderful blend of suspense, mystery, and romance.

If you’re looking for a great book to read by the pool or on the beach, I highly recommend Circles of Stone. It’s one that you will not want to put down!
