Book of the Week (6/4/2018)

A Girl Named Truth by Alethea Kehas (NH: Alethea Kehas, 2017).

New Hampshire author Alethea Kehas's healing and spiritual journey led her to write her memoir A Girl Named Truth. But, as the author says, "as one person told me, these stories are not just [my] stories, they tell universal truths."
Some mystics believe we choose our name, along with our life's lessons, before we are born. The name we select becomes our constant guide, helping us to navigate the journey ahead. In her memoir, A Girl Named Truth, Alethea explores the subjective nature of truth while she untangles the uncomfortable wrap of narratives she was raised on. Her name serves as her beacon, guiding her to heal and find the inner voice of her own truth. The author's story begins with her formative years, when her mother left her father and went into hiding with the Hare Krishnas. Months later, the young Alethea finds herself living 3,000 miles away from her extended family, trying to love a new father and forget the one she has left behind. Only she never forgets...A Girl Named Truth is a story of loss, love and the redemptive power of awakening a silenced voice. -- Publisher's blurb.
