Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author takes us on a journey of discovery as the protagonist discovers that she possesses the astonishing gift of sight but also an abundance of compassion and love for humanity that is unmatched by any God. The author in her adoring portrayal so eloquently and intimately engages with and unravels the infamous Grecian Myth of the great and powerful Medusa. This myth denied Medusa her voice forever condemning her fragmented monstrous form whereas this wonderful story celebrates and gives Medusa back what she had lost for centuries. However, evil has many faces as Medusa unveils the horrid guises of "the righteous" and guides us through the difference between truth and verisimilitude. Condemned to live a half-life in the shadows, her deadly stare forbids any hope of any human contact, she is made to be the repulsive monster that everyone fears they too could become. But her story does not end there. She rewrites history as this so called "monster" holds a mirror up defiantly to the gods and to us.
