Gratitude Happens

Love, light, and burning white sage aren't enough to heal Chrissie Demata's wounds.

She's desperate for connection and meaning in life but growing up without a father and estranged from her manic depressive mother, she never learned how.
Now a 40-year-old Angeleno, Chrissie excels at the art of spiritual and emotional bypassing, clinging to tarot cards, healing crystals, energy healers and positive vibes without mercy. When her mother ends up in the hospital with a mental breakdown and Chrissie is the only person who can help, she must decide how much she can give to win her mother's love, and if that love requires that she betray herself in the process.
