When a deceased southern Appalachian grandmother delivers a
mysterious message to her adult granddaughter in a waking dream,
she sparks a mystical adventure that helps the young woman turn her
life around. "The Garden of a Desert Rose," a spiritual novel, is a
modern-day, Jungian takeoff on "A Christmas Carol," in which
Scrooge is a sweet-natured, Southern single mother (in red
snakeskin heels, no less) who spouts Bible verses and basic Jungian
concepts with equal enthusiasm.
Feeling defeated by her life choices, thirty-two-year-old,
twice-divorced Lenny has little energy for launching a journey of
self-discovery. Raising two children and holding down a job as a
secretary for the coaching staff of the University of Tennessee
football team keeps her days busy. But Lenny's nights open a portal
to a series of vivid, lucid dreams overflowing with rich archetypal
images. Buoyed by the support of friends and her unflagging sense
of humor, Lenny sees her inner desert transform into a blossoming
oasis with one final Christmas Eve dream.
This is a work of "real-fiction" that tries to capture the
reality behind the known world. The tools in author Deborah L.
Kelley's hand are her colorful imagination and a lifetime of
personal happenings, visions, and spirit communications. Inspired
by C. G. Jung's writings encouraging people to discover their
personal myths, Kelley imagined her own myth to the surface. She
named her hero Lenny and, with many additional archetypes dancing
in her head, revisited Christmas of 1982. It was a time in her own
life in which profound mental transformations took place. "The
Garden of a Desert Rose" is a novel that seeks to ignite in your
own imagination a deeper awareness of the myth you've been
living.
