People's auras have colors and they can travel in their spiritual doubles? No way, thinks Lupe...until she befriends Ketan, an air-skinny moreno from India. Even though Lupe's mother nags her about having only one friend since childhood, she knows someone else is waiting for her. Her normal life in South Central Los Angeles seems like a surreal dream lately: the feeling that someone is watching her in her room, the bike accident that lets her leave her body behind, the strange messages...
More DescriptionPeople's auras have colors and they can travel in their spiritual doubles? No way, thinks Lupe...until she befriends Ketan, an air-skinny moreno from India. Even though Lupe's mother nags her about having only one friend since childhood, she knows someone else is waiting for her. Her normal life in South Central Los Angeles seems like a surreal dream lately: the feeling that someone is watching her in her room, the bike accident that lets her leave her body behind, the strange messages she deciphers in her grandmother's Mayan texts, and the time she almost drowns in the ocean all lead her to this mysterious connection to a mysterious person. But just as the synchronicity of daily events leaves her speechless, Ketan reminds Lupe that there are no coincidences. A thousand miles northbound in the evergreen town of Woodburn, Oregon, Manuel is adjusting to his new American life. Isn't it fantastic when all the girls at high school surround you and invite you on dates to the mall? Wrong. Manuel has never felt so empty, so trapped. That is until destiny pulls him from the spider's web and throws him into the new waters of Aztec ceremonies. After a whirlwind of shamanic experiences, Manuel knows he must go find someone: his twin soul awaits him so that together they can help fulfill the 2012 prophecies and ignite the Flowered War...The Flowered War of 2012 is a multicultural adventure, a true reflection of America's melting pot. In a place as diverse as Los Angeles, it's no surprise that a Mexican Catholic, Indian Hindu, Yemeni Jew, and Tibetan Buddhist can be best friends and work together to unlock the secrets of their ancestors' knowledge. These young characters' compelling stories entertain us; yet also inspire us to discover our own spiritual path this 2012.
