READERS' CHOICE BOOK AWARDS-SILVER WINNER

What if surviving was only the beginning of your story?

SJ Williams has lived through experiences that could have ended very differently.

Childhood trauma. Depression. Moments when death came frighteningly close. And encounters she could not explain.

Spirit. Intuition. Synchronicities. A sense of knowing. Experiences that challenged everything she understood about life, death and what might exist beyond what we can see.

The Auburn Guide: A True Story of Spirit, Survival and Awakening is SJ's spiritual memoir of survival, depression, healing and an unexpected spiritual awakening.

It is a true story of childhood trauma, near-death experiences and communication with Spirit - a journey that led SJ to question whether there might be more to life than we understand.

And perhaps some of it will feel familiar.

Have you ever come frighteningly close to death?

Have you experienced something you cannot explain?

Have you felt someone's presence when no one was there, or received a sign too personal to be coincidence?

Have you experienced communication with Spirit and wondered if anyone else would understand?

Are you experiencing a spiritual awakening?

Or have depression, trauma or loss left you searching for meaning in what you've survived?

The Auburn Guide is SJ's story - but it might make you look differently at your own.

BONUS PART TWO-EXPLORE YOUR SPIRITUAL PATH

After the memoir, a bonus section invites you to explore your inner world through meditation, intuition, signs and synchronicities, energy, chakras, crystals, life paths and connection with Spirit.

There is nothing you are required to believe and no path you are expected to follow.

Take what resonates. Question what doesn't. Explore for yourself.

Come for the true story. Stay for what it might awaken in you.

Sometimes the guide we search for isn't outside us.

Sometimes, through everything we survive, we become the guide we once needed.
