I had no idea what to expect from Weegie Tarot, but from the minute I started reading, I knew I would love it. The concept is cool: 50ish East End Glaswegian Eddie is interviewed by young student, Claire for her dissertation. The East End is tough...tough living, tough people, but the beauty of this life is that Hope is everywhere. Eddie's story is told against the backdrop of 20 cards from the Tarot deck.

The subtitle of May Cause Miracles is: A 40-Day Guidebook of Subtle Shifts for Radical Change and Unlimited Happiness. Oh yes it is! I cannot say enough about how this book is laid out. Its gentle, helpful and practical. Each day has a Morning… Read more

It's a beautifully written account of her journey through a difficult time in her life...feeling like an outcast, connecting with a grandmother she never knew, first love and finally coming to accept and love herself. The pace is quick and thick with emotion. There were times when my eyes welled up for Lizzie. I remembered what it was like to feel like no one understands. And there were times when my heart quickened for Lizzie and Rafa. All in all, a very satisfying read. I loved the lush descriptions of the heat of Andalucia...a place I now, having read this… Read more
