Music of the Soul

By: Carlana Van Houten

Music of the Soul is about a young girl who discovers one day that she can do something very special and powerful. This discovery leads to her being kidnapped by a secret society that will train her to control herself and her power. While she learns more about herself, she must endure bullying from others and a power deity that wants to possess her, body, and soul. This story seeks to bring awareness to the world about the stigma surrounding mental health as well as how to tackle that stigma. It was inspired by the author's own experiences with mental illness.
