The Quest - Emily Pereira - Bog

What happens when you realize you've been living a lie?

Emily has the life, selling what Time Magazine hails as the revolutionary new treatment for cancer. Her boyfriend's start-up gets acquired for almost half-billion dollars, and the view from their beachfront LA penthouse looks bright. Few know she's on a dangerous journey of extremes, riding an alluring threshold of risk, while languishing at hedonistic soirees. Nothing is too big, too excessive or ever enough.

And then, Emily has a shock discovery that forces her to lose everything. She finds herself scraping rock bottom, filled with regret and a desperate longing for the life she can't return to.

Enter grandfather alchemist-intuitive, James, a cross between Don Quixote and Forrest Gump, who does an MRI on her soul, destroying molecules on their way to serious illness. He initiates her into an ancient paradigm where women access a force deep within that paves the way for powerful personal realization.

By walking beside and sometimes a little ahead of the reader, The Quest gives a brutally honest account of love, loss, and triumph that shifts our elusive understanding of what it means to be truly alive.
