Leigh WestinAstrologer, author,
It was a rainy night in South Carolina. My husband was flying the Berlin Wall and was away for three to four weeks at a time. My active toddlers were tucked in bed and I had just reached for my last book. I’d been on a marathon reading all the psychology books in the base library trying to understand my two quite different offspring, a son, born December 31st and a daughter born 15 months later on March 31st.
Being an only child and only grandchild on one side, I’d had little experience with children and felt ill-equipped as a mother. Rather than Home Economics in high school, I’d opted for Latin and college had been focused on science education. It had been two weeks since I’d visited the librarian who would gather the next six books on the shelf and have them checked out for me to run in and pick up. Over many months, I’d read all of Freud, Adler, Jung and many more. But the book, disappointingly the last on hand, wasn’t about psychology. Reluctantly, I flipped through the pages, curiously scanning here and there at first, but it was the wee hours before it was finally closed. More was found in that one book that one night than in the multitude of psychology books I’d been devouring. Destiny must have guided the librarian's hand because the book, accidentally included on her part, led toward an incredibly exciting life-long path. The title? Evangeline Adams’ A Place in the Sun. |
