The Mariposa Diary (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798991508827)

Noelani Lee has everything she always dreamed of. A successful restauranteur husband and a pampered housewife lifestyle with quirky and interesting friends. Then her husband of twenty years vanishes with her inheritance money.

Divorced and uncertain about the future, Noelani finds emotional refuge in a much younger man and in a new home in a modest, studio apartment. With no job prospects and her savings running out, she contemplates how she can rebuild her life and move on from a shattered marriage.

With her best friend's encouragement, Noelani returns to Hawaii to jumpstart her life. She is nurtured by her loyal and loving women friends. She feels an ancestral tug toward something she doesn't understand. A summons to come home. The islands hold more than a rekindling of an old childhood friendship, there is something more powerful brewing along the pristine ocean shores.

The ancestors are guiding her down a byzantine journey of self-discovery that is both unsettling and empowering. Through a series of mysterious dreams and shamanic signs, Noelani realizes something is beckoning her to explore the unknown. She discovers there's more to her ancestral home than she could ever have dreamed of and a supernatural heritage she could never have imagined.
