The Path: Series on Redemption and Sensual Awakening by Michelle Devon

I am a picky reader, always have been. Earlier this week I started reading The Path: A Series on Redemption and Sensual Awakening by Michelle Devon. I have been totally blown away. Michelle has managed to say within the pages of the book The Path everything I have ever thought or felt within my own life concerning love, friendship, sorrow and redemption.

The Path is actually the second book in a series about love, redemption and sensual awakening. The first book, "In a Perfect World: A series of Lost Love and Redemption" much like The Path is a collection of poems and prose.

I have had a chance to talk to Michelle Devon on a number of occasions. When asking Michelle about her life she will tell you that "writing is more then a job, it's a life long dream". That dream started early on for Michelle. Ms. Devon first got exposed to writing through her jr high newspaper. During this time in Michelle's life she would win poetry and prose contests and by the time she was thirteen she had written her first novel.

Life would interfere with Michelle's dream of writing. It would be sometime before she would be able to realize her dream, opening a window of her world of writing for all of us to share through her books. She would go on to gain her college degrees in psychology, with a minor in sociology. Michelle had a career that centered on social services, advocacy and criminal justice for victims of violent crime in the non-profit sector. This career would ultimately lead to her taking a position with the corporate world negotiator for a mult-billion dollar company. This job, this world wasn't her dream - her dream was to write.

Michelle's dream was to write and having had all she could of the corporate world she quite. Leaving behind everything she had worked so hard to gain. All for the purpose of pursuing her dream of writing. As Michelle Devon will tell you about her and her writing - "I am a writer! It's not what I do; it's who I am." It's that dream, it her life that gives us The Path: A Series of Redemption and Sensual Awakening.
