The Path is actually the second book in a series about love, redemption and sensual awakening. The first book, "In a Perfect World: A series of Lost Love and Redemption" much like The Path is a collection of poems and prose.
I have had a chance to talk to Michelle Devon on a number of occasions. When asking Michelle about her life she will tell you that "writing is more then a job, it's a life long dream". That dream started early on for Michelle. Ms. Devon first got exposed to writing through her jr high newspaper. During this time in Michelle's life she would win poetry and prose contests and by the time she was thirteen she had written her first novel.
Life would interfere with Michelle's dream of writing. It would be sometime before she would be able to realize her dream, opening a window of her world of writing for all of us to share through her books. She would go on to gain her college degrees in psychology, with a minor in sociology. Michelle had a career that centered on social services, advocacy and criminal justice for victims of violent crime in the non-profit sector. This career would ultimately lead to her taking a position with the corporate world negotiator for a mult-billion dollar company. This job, this world wasn't her dream - her dream was to write.
Michelle's dream was to write and having had all she could of the corporate world she quite. Leaving behind everything she had worked so hard to gain. All for the purpose of pursuing her dream of writing. As Michelle Devon will tell you about her and her writing - "I am a writer! It's not what I do; it's who I am." It's that dream, it her life that gives us The Path: A Series of Redemption and Sensual Awakening.
The Path starts off talking about starting down our own path for our lives. Very vividly explaining all the fears of what might be ahead, the unknown. In The Path, Michelle Devon uses an ocean and forest as a visual unknown of what lays ahead for us. Michelle explains that throughout life we come to the end of one path only to be faced with a different one. Each path represents stages within our lives or when our circumstances as they change. Michelle expresses this change this way - "The winds of change blow all around me, making me cold, uncertain, while yet burning with an intense fire for life and love."
I have often times wanted to go back and redo what I have already done. Michelle Devon in The Path says this about going back - "Seeing the broken shards of glass behind me. I know I cannot go back and regain what was lost." Much like our lives we know we can never go back and regain something that is lost.
If you have ever experienced love lost, pain, suffering, loving friendship, compassion, satisfaction, or redemption then you need to read The Path. Michelle Devon is not only a great person and supportive friend; she is a compassionate soulful writer. She has managed within the pages The Path to say what many of us have felt or wanted to express yet couldn't find the words.
The Path by Michelle Devon is one of those books that you should have on your night stand or on your bookshelf. The Path is a book that would make a great gift to a family member getting married or going through life changes or struggles. I promise you will never find another book with as much in your face emotional truth than what you will find in The Path by Michelle Devon.
"The path is waiting for us. Life is ready to be lived, love and understanding are ready to be shared."
"Redeem yourself and awaken to the sensuality surrounding you. No one is meant to walk alone."
"Together lets follow The Path"
