The Dreamtidings of a Disgruntled Starbeing: Life With a Psychopathic Brother

A quirky philosophical novel which is lighthearted, yet profound, inspiring all seekers of the mind and heart. Precocious 13-year-old Klara Tippins lives in a refurbished convent in upstate New York with her unwholesome family; a narcissistic mother, a psychopathic brother, and a distant father. It sounds dire, yes, but this is Klara, a starbeing from a distant planet with friends in 'high places' who give her guidance in her sleep, at least that's what she hopes.
Though, if she's to be honest, she can't remember much when she wakes up. As the story moves, Klara encounters three belief systems: Quakerism, which leads her to people, Q'ero Shamanism, which connects her with nature, and Hinduism, which provides an understanding of the world and her place in it.
