Awakening Aphrodite is an 80,000-word women''s visionary fiction novel about Eve''s quest to find the goddess within. Eve is a sensitive and an old soul who lives in the garden of her delights, in harmony with the rhythms of nature and the cycles of the moon. When her soul talks, she listens. And, when Aphrodite calls, she follows. Awakening Aphrodite is a transformational journey of love and self-realization, which draws deeply from Eve''s feminine nature, intuitive wisdom and her soul. She yearns to rediscover her passion for life and her sexual energy. To become a Goddess of Love, Beauty and Desire. The echo to a long-lost consciousness is at the heart of 59-year-old widowed Eve''s decision to emerge from the shadows of the past, to open up to life and to living again, and the hope that love could still be there.  The dark woods of internet dating bring only frogs and the wrong kind of men. Despairing, Eve realizes she needs greater awareness of her sexual self. Like her precious orchids, she knows intimately how buds must be nurtured to bloom.  Her journey takes her to Paris. Whilst on a night tour of the Louvre Museum, during a magical encounter with the Venus de Milo, Eve experiences an epiphany. Aphrodite calls to her, inviting her into her temple of love. This reawakens her passion and desires, and her longing to be a goddess.  Casting aside her doubts, fears and cultural conditioning, Eve embarks upon a daring quest - an exploration of mind, body and spirit, culminating in lessons in loving with Anthony, a handsome, young male escort - where she confronts past demons, explores her pleasures and passions, and reclaims her sexual power. Eve awakens the goddess within. And, in time, finds love again. Set in New Jersey, the story moves through the seasons in Eve''s lush garden as she marks her sacred rite of passage from widow to woman to goddess. It is a heart-warming celebration of a woman reclaiming her passion and power, her sexual freedom and divine sense of self. And, the transformative power of love. Especially self-love.
