A sibling might never communicate with another sibling. A father can be banned from the family for divorcing the mother. Disagreements over the grandchildren can be the source of an estrangement. Whatever the reason, the estrangement epidemic in America is affecting many Baby Boomers. The angst between Generation X, Generation Y, and the Baby Boomers over many issues is a major cause of the epidemic. Psychologists are partially responsible for this epidemic by advising their clients to “get rid of toxic people in your life,?? and that includes parents.

People are silent about their situations because of the shame and embarrassment associated with this phenomenon.

Most psychologists cannot get their heads around the explosion of estrangement in American Society, especially to those considered great parents. This is an account for those who have found themselves in an estrangement situation and will help them find a way to heal. $4.99 on Kindle.

In a distant epoch, on a far-flung planet, the ancient planet of Kawa once thrived as the nucleus of cosmic civilisation. There, the Plumians, masters of soulcraft and crystal magic, flourished under the guidance of Elyon Farron, leading all beings towards prosperity and enlightenment. This peaceful epoch persisted for millions of years until a cataclysm shattered the civilisation of Kawa and its divine era, ushering in a new age for all beings and humankind.
Human-led civilisations flourished in the subsequent aeons of cosmic reconstruction, diversifying in strength and culture. In stark contrast, the once-sacred Kawa withered, teetering on oblivion.
Before the calamity, Farron prophesied that a chosen daughter would one day reignite the glory of the Plumians. Yet, this prophesied heir remained elusive until three thousand years post-cataclysm, when fatefully chosen maidens May and Ray arrived on the lost planet, embarking on a quest to rediscover ancient gods and themselves.

Advancing in hesitation, refuting in reminiscence, they unveil the dusty annals of history and the scars of time.
On this voyage through Kawa, the Braves will probe the essence of divinity and humanity. And ultimately, they will confront the age-old, immortal question
