A transforming twenty-first-century parable in the tradition of The Alchemist, The Little Prince and Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

This is the story of Diana Oliveira, a beautiful yet troubled young woman whose desire for approval has made her lose sight of who she really is. When her mother’s deathbed confession reveals the existence of a sister, Diana sets out to find the twin she never knew she had.
