Deborah Gaal, the award-winning author of The Dream Stitcher, returns with Synchronocities on the Avenue of the Saints, a novel that delves into the subjects of love and acceptance and the importance of connection. How does the weight of the past lead to awareness and expansiveness in the present? And when can every day magic step in to help? Physicist Noah Friedman is bipolar and is racing against time before the experimental drug he takes steals his mind, then his life. His deranged psychiatrist is aiming to clear $10 million on the sale of this drug and has become Noah's enemy. As Noah starts his quest to free himself from the drug and the doctor, he soon finds himself with a coterie of odd compatriots: Noah's burnt-out and misguided but loving mom, Sally; an African shaman mentor who steers Noah on the path; Noah's failed journalist-friend Fleck; and a Russian Revolution-era ghost who demands Noah right an old wrong--or else. Together they work to stop the world-wide launch of this deadly drug. At the same time, a pharmaceutical kingpin is intent on raiding the Friedman pharmaceutical company and has been using Sally to do so. Can Noah right the wrongs of his ancestors in time to heal himself, save his mother, and also prove that love creates a synchronicity with what and who is loved?
