Keepers of the Star Path

Discover the Legends of Star Junction as book two, Keepers of the Star Path, takes us on a journey to the past to give insights into Star Junction and the people who call the town home.

Not so long ago, on a night without clouds, the elders and the children sat around the talking fire. The fire and the stars provided enough light to see all the faces clearly, down to the wrinkles of the sages and the light in their eyes. They sat with the children, teaching them through stories about the stars and the time that would come-a time much like now. The elders spoke with magic in their voices. This was not a time for fear but for understanding, for imbuing the young ones with possibility, imagination, and the light of the stars. Some even sang the messages, for this was not a prophecy of warning, but of action:

“Beautiful children, you are the seeds. Life will take you many directions. When it does, you must always remember the truth of who you are, the essence of your being, the love within. You must never forget how to call the stars home. There are many star junctions in the world, portals through which we came to experience an earth life.”

Star Junction is nestled in the mountains somewhere along the border of Northern Arizona and southern Utah. Here, the Watcher keeps vigil over the town, and the mountain lives in the heart of those born to it.

When young William moves to the birthplace of his grandmother, he is recognized quickly by Flor who had been close with his grandmother and was now a respected elder here. Tragedy finds William and changes his life forever. Flor steps in, but discovers that her son Edward doesn’t like the new kid, and isn’t happy about sharing his mother. Can they learn to get along?

As she guides the boys from adversaries to brotherhood, we also see her own journey from innocence to wisdom. Can she teach them enough, and protect them from darker influences, so that they too can claim their staff as Keepers of the Star Path?

This is a beautiful story of growing up in a mystical landscape, love and loss, brotherhood, friendship and chosen family that follows two young boys as the grow into brothers and discover the interconnection of life and nature, nature allies, spiritual wisdom, and choosing a path.
