Overview
Ophelia’s Oracle is a delightful story of a 12-year-old girl who explores her emerging sense of self.... Ophelia is told ancient feminine stories by her grandmother and other caring and supportive women in her life, and through her own experiences, learns the relevance of these stories today. From Amaterasu, the sun goddess of Japan, she learns how to deal with the anger she feels when her younger brother almost destroys something she loves. From Rhiannon, the shape-shifting Celtic goddess, she begins to trust her self-knowing, the deep intuition that guides her actions no matter what others say about her. Inspired by the story of Kuan Yin, the Chinese goddess of compassion, she reaches out to other people who are different from her, by sacrificing her own needs to extend a helping hand. And from the feisty Artemis, Greek goddess of the woods and protector of women, she begins to explore her role as an earth guardian, and learn about the sisterhood of women which extends beyond space and time.
Through these feminine wisdom stories and some difficult experiences with her friends and family, she learns to love and appreciate her mixed cultural heritage.
Girls can see themselves in Ophelia. Moms, aunts, teachers and mentors like to share the the activities and probing questions included in this book. Women love this book too, for the transformational material has moved many women to share and talk to their own friends and mothers in a new way. Ophelia’s Oracle is a book that men, too, can share with their daughters, as a positive father-daughter relationship is modeled in the endearing story.
The creative full-color design by inspirational artist, Sue Lion, is partnered with drawings by girls themselves. Girls' sayings, notes, lyrics and poems enhance and enliven the text. There is girl power everywhere in this book!
Ophelia's Oracle has received 15 national and international awards, including Mom's Choice Gold, INDIE Book Awards Third Place Grand Prize, COVR Best in Print Winner, Nautilus Silver, ForeWord Reviews Silver, International Book Awards Winner and many others. It has gained a following by those who appreciate its unique nature, and look forward to upcoming books in this confidence series.
"What a beautiful book! Ophelia's Oracle is a gift of power, self-esteem, and light to any young woman." -Fawn Germer, corporate speaker and best selling author of Hard Won Wisdom and Pearls.
"I would have given anything for a book like this growing up, especially in junior high school.... It is the ultimate conversation between a child and a mentor for life learning experiences." -Pamela Davis, mother of four girls
"My daughter, who is 25 but very shy, and I read through Ophelia's Oracle because it was a great place to discuss the common barriers who both had in becoming women of power and assurance.... Going through the book together helped us move our relationship from mother-daughter (me instructing, her receiving) to women moving side-by-side in life.... In fact now, whenever my daughter has something on her mind to discuss, she asks me for some "OO" time." -Janet Rhodes, former book store manager

About the Author
Donna DeNomme is a role model for using life challenges as opportunities to propel oneself into an extraordinary life. Coming from a background of brutal sexual abuse, which led to rebellious adolescent gang affiliation, single motherhood, and state welfare, Donna knew first-hand how self-defeating life can be. As a licensed spiritual coach, self-realization facilitator, and ceremonial leader, Donna has advanced degrees in human development, psychology, spirituality, and many years training in alternative and indigenous healing studies. She is the founder and director of Inlightened Source Productions, assisting clients and students with their healing, life enrichment, and spiritual development since 1987. www.inlightenedsource.com
A National Motivational Speaker, Donna was voted Colorado’s “Spiritual Health Guru” by 5280 Magazine. “Donna holds up a mirror to your soul, so that you might see your truest reflection.” She is the author of the award-winning, internationally-published Turtle Wisdom: Coming Home to Yourself, and a poet, published in the We Moon calendar and Talking to Goddess. Donna has two meditation CD’s, Spinning the Light and Sacred Journey.
Tina Proctor knew in middle school, as she often wandered the woods with her pets, an opossum and a dog, that she wanted to be a biologist. How else could she help protect wild places and the creatures that lived there? She followed her dream by getting an MS in wildlife biology and pursued her career in working for major nonprofits and a federal agency. Tina taught classes in creating partnerships, took scientific information and distilled it into readable and understandable text, and was devoted to helping foster that magic connection humans have with nature.
For over a decade, Tina introduced women and girls to goddess stories from around the world, sharing the ancient feminine wisdom that so many women are missing. Encouraged by the enthusiastic response from many of her students, she earned an MA in Women’s Spirituality. Tina developed a curriculum using these stories to inspire girls to see themselves in the sisterhood of women who have shared their own vision of the divine feminine through time and space.
Donna and Tina have collaborated for over 12 years, presenting multi-dimensional, national programs and inspirational writing that has cultivated healing and personal growth for women and girls.
