And So It Began Jy Chiperzak

The novel "And So It Began" is a mythic story of coming to terms with, then passing through, a chronic and debilitating disease: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It is a drama of inner darkness, of one alone in pain, depression and cognitive disruption; of life, 'Self' and soul that is stripped away to open the way to rebirth. Embarking on a psycho-spiritual journey that shifts his perceptual framework of reality, Nature, 'the wild', and otherworld beings initiate 'Bran' into the realm of shamans and Spirit, a rekindling of life's fire that is wellness and the awakening to life's purpose.
