Inspirational Self-Help Author Dr. Barbara Sinor Publishes Debut Novel Dr. Barbara Sinor, renowned author of six inspirational, self-help books, has stepped into the world of fiction with her debut novel Finding Destiny (Loving Healing Press, 2016). Now retired from counseling and gifting the public with her six non-fiction spiritually inspired self-help books, Sinor digs into writing a poetic tale of fiction that brings her readers nuances of metaphysical instruction and a splash of women's reproductive rights support. Finding Destiny is primarily a women's novel, but there will be many men interested in this book of romance and mystery as two women unravel the challenges on their paths. The story develops with Luana, a retired psychotherapist living in southern California, who discovers a novel about a teenager living in England during the 1970s, who has been raped. As Luana devours the book, she and the young woman each share their search for the innermost harbor of women's life choices. The seventeen year old British teen is searching for love. She discovers that her choices on her life journey direct her to explore the laws of metaphysics, trusting the right path will appear before her. Luana brings her knowledge of spirituality to embrace the struggles of the young women's life, and then realizes her own life path has crossed similar challenges. Even though these two women live in separate countries and bridge many decades in time, their individual exploration of metaphysics, spirituality, and women's rights culminates in a mysterious friendship. Finding Destiny contains two main themes. The storyline subtly conveys the issues surrounding pregnancy and women's reproductive rights. The book also addresses and references the many ways we can learn about manifesting our lives, or to quote a well known phase, how to co-create our reality. Sinor uses profound poetic prose in the book to lead her readers into captivating visuals, which propels each character though their ever-changing lives. After completing the first few pages of this exceptional novel, readers will react viscerally and strain forward to discover each character's journey. Praise for Finding Destiny 'Finding Destiny nudges us gently to continue our journey of finding our own personal destiny.' -Barbara Patterson, Soul Matters Radio, Germany 'Finding Destiny is an engaging book, exploring connections of people separated by time and space. As a woman who has experienced unplanned pregnancy, I was especially appreciative of the exploration of this theme.' -Juanita Emery, M.A., Health Practitioner 'Finding Destiny is the story of two women whose challenges and triumphs mirror each other in many ways. It is also about transformation and how to achieve it. Through this fictional story, Sinor offers an introduction to metaphysical principles that become the foundation for both women's strength and power.' -Reverend Margaret Flick, Unity Minister 'Finding Destiny goes beneath the skin; down to the internal turmoil and sacrifices of two women a half century and oceans apart as they, with their best conscience, make life changing and altering decisions.' -Mary Catherine O'Heart, RN Book Info: Title: Finding Destiny Author: Dr. Barbara Sinor Publisher: Marvelous Spirit Press Publication Date: September 2016 Genre: Visionary Fiction Pages: 250 ISBN: #978-1-61599-299-7 [Paperback] #978-1-61599-301-7 [eBook] Contact: Victor Volkman, Publisher: 888-761-6268 or Ingram Book Distributors
