LitPick Review
She often wondered what would be beyond the sky if she could cut it open. Connie Castro Jackson was a beloved mentor, an intuitive, a dreamer, and a psychic teacher. She shared her life's wisdom through readings as a psychic and through her vulnerability as she shared her life experiences with others. Connie grew up in a large family that experienced the poverty of working in labor camps in California. She discussed the emotional and spiritual growth that came into her life because of the opposites of love from her family and friends and the sadness and trauma of dealing with those who mistreated her due to prejudice or other dysfunctional thought patterns. It is an honest memoir that touches on spirituality, bi-racial issues, and the human condition.
Opinion:
Although the personal stories and spiritual wisdom were interesting throughout the book, there were several typos in the writing and the spiritual wisdom was repeated quite often and could have been summarized differently to be more concise. I did enjoy the honesty of her experiences and how she did not try to sugarcoat the negative experiences that shaped her into a wise mentor. For some readers, this book may be emotionally difficult to read because she brings up racial prejudice, abuse, neglect, poverty, and grief/loss. This book is definitely suited for mature audiences and open-minded spiritual seekers.
