Called forth from her life in Seattle, Elena travels to Perugia, Italy in search of her birth mother who is now a cloistered nun. She has wondered about her birth family for all of her life, and the mystery deepens after a tragic accident that opens a portal to a life in Renaissance Italy with the artist Raphael. Elena’s new relationships weave together with old ones in a rich tapestry of abiding connections and complex memories as secrets reverberate within her life experiences and across time.
Enriched and illuminated by twenty-seven full-color images of unforgettable art from the Florentine period of Raphael, Leonardo, and Michaelangelo, Deep Remembrance is as engaging and thought provoking as it is filled with rich historical detail. The story offers the reader a choice to be part of Elena’s spiritual unfolding and share in the transcendent power of love.
