    About this ebook

    What happens when an exhausted divorcée with two troubled daughters goes looking for a tattoo and finds herself on a life-quest dictated by a talking unicorn and a host of angels in the most unlikely forms ...

    This is a story of unexpected love, adventure and how to reclaim life and your own destiny, and a delightfully funny reminder of how to read the signs on the road of life.
