With the help of Sally Peters, a hypnotherapist, Virginia (Gini) Poli unlocks the secrets of her past that have held her back and made her feel like an outsider in her own family and community. Through hypnotherapy, she comes to terms with her mother's suicide and the shocking secret of her own paternity, and starts to release her deep-seated fears of inadequacy and rejection. As Gini attempts to trace her father and find her roots, she continues her healing through self-hypnosis and positive programming. Gradually changing her perception of herself and her world, she becomes a more positive, trusting individual, confidently embracing a loving future with Roger King, a fellow traveller. She also comes to understand the lessons she has chosen to learn this lifetime, recognising the remarkable fact that human beings literally create what happens in their lives from their thoughts and beliefs.
