A Healing Journey, From 9/11 Beyond the Pandemic is a personal memoir of a transformational quest that Gilda Morina Syverson sets out on soon after the Twin Towers come crashing down. She longed to return to Italy and Sicily with her parents. But after the unbearable tragedy of 9/11, Gilda's parents decide they will no longer fly overseas, and she is forced to give up the dream of traveling, especially with her mother, to her family's matriarchal town.

Instead, Gilda goes on another journey, a spiritual journey, to help her make sense of the world she is now living in. Gilda not only finds a Spiritual Director but also an energy therapy called Healing Touch. Throughout the story, Gilda navigates the ever-changing times impacted by events that catapult her through time and space into the rollercoaster ride of the Pandemic. Along the way, she leads us down challenging paths of a fragmented world through mystical experiences and healing light that guides her and the readers toward hope. This is Gilda Morina Syverson's most intimate work following her bestseller, My Father's Daughter, From Rome to Sicily.

Lisa Mentgen-Gordon, CEO/Owner of Healing Touch Program, www.healingtouchprogram.com
