The Shamrock and The Feather
Is our life truly our own? Are the decisions we make on a daily basis born out of free will and choice, or is there a Master Plan that intervenes and ultimately guides us to our fate and destiny? The Shamrock and The Feather is a story about just that. And Geneva Becker, a successful landscape photographer, is about to find that out.

Geneva's troubles revolve around a series of flashbacks that lead you through her past and rich Irish family history, which quickly set the stage for the mystery and adventure that lay ahead for her in New Mexico.

You'll meet the characters of: Victoria Walker, Geneva's offbeat, New Age friend, who teaches her about the possibilities of past lives and astral travel; Four Feathers, the enigmatic Navajo Healing Man of Canyon de Chelly and his shrouded relationship with Geneva—a relationship that transcends her own personal conception. In time, you'll open your mind and heart to the acceptance of destiny through the story of Alec Thompson…and you'll believe that true love never dies.
From antagonist Dr. Pierce Madden, an archeology professor at the University of New Mexico, a deeper understanding of greed and the insatiable hunger for power is revealed. And you will discover how a mysterious Celtic bowl, made by Geneva's mother, ties these people and their present-day lives to a fated past that began centuries ago; a past that calls Geneva to her ancestral homeland in Ireland to fulfill a promise she must learn to remember.

Combine this with the Visionary Soundtrack—an extraordinary collection of musical pieces that help you visualize and recall the storyline in ways you never have before. Travel across the Southwest and explore the remote vastness of Canyon de Chelly…relive ancient Druid ceremonies, and fierce Roman battles…experience the people and haunting beauty of Ireland…

You'll never want to read an ordinary book again!

What the Readers Say…

"What an unbelievable, yet very believable, fantastic tale! I haven't read anything like it since Bradley's, The Forest House. Such vivid descriptions of the Southwest and Ireland, truly refreshing characters, a suspenseful moving plot, and downright honest storytelling! And the music: beautiful, tragic, spellbinding. What a completely new approach to enhance the reading experience. I can't wait to read Dori's next novel!"
