Chatting with sherris welcomes author Deborah Gaal!
Deborah Gaal abandoned a love of theater to take over the family flooring business and ended up running a wholly-owned subsidiary of DuPont.
After leaving DuPont, she coached entrepreneurs and corporate execs in addition to creating and guiding leadership seminars for women. Finally, she returned to her dream of living a creative life by writing.
Deborah Gaal, the award-winning author of The Dream Stitcher, returns with Synchronicities on the Avenue of the Saints, a novel that delves into the subjects of love and acceptance and the importance of connection.
Deborah employs magic realism to explore themes of ancestry, connectivity, and universality. Here, the ancestors take the form of two Russian ghosts, one vengeful and one supportive. Both are relatives of the bipolar Noah Friedman. Noah has spent years on a drug that has either made him a genius or considerably shortened his life span—or both. Now he must face off against a malevolent corporate type determined to market the drug internationally. Fortunately, he has a coterie of eccentric figures, both living and dead, to assist him
