"I love the way you write, India....Your words are sweet and honest. You do not attempt to coerce or seduce. You do not solicit a contract with misery but instead with power, purpose and love.

I must illuminate that this feminine reclamation and quantum leaping work isn't for every woman or femme. I courageously write for those who have 'eyes to see and ears to hear, ' willing to see the dank river beneath the river. I will continue answering the call as an Author of Love and share that love (health, healing, and transformation) through the Creative Arts and Benevolent Feminine Rites, which are not for the timid, stagnant, or tender-footed. The Melody of love " is a lovingly mystical and refreshingly radical literary spellbook that charms, heals, glows, amplifies, and supports healing, self-care, body transformations, and the divine feminine within us all. Part warm and witchy, part how-to grow more ass (rootworkers) and activate breast tissues (caretakers), part
