Dedication from my Heart to Yours
The Dual Path is dedicated you, the misfits, optimists, and dreamers who’ve sometimes given up because it seems the world you seek to live is not the world that exists today.
Do you often feel on the verge of giving up because you can’t see the point of being the only one holding this dream? Don't give up, there are others like you, more than you can imagine. Do you stay silent because you fear you may be the only one who feels this way? Are you tired of non-believers looking down on you, doubting what you know to be true? You're not alone...
I write to light the things we can’t name., the dreams, ideas, and knowing in your heart clambering to be realized, seen and acknowledged as true.
Do you recognize yourself in my words?
Have you been touched by that sense of magic and wonder that lifts your soul and draws you to search past what you’ve been told is real? Do you know, sense, feel there is something more...other...deeper....that eludes your ability to describe or articulate? You wish you could wave your hands and draw it into reality so all can see. It hides in the shadows of your heart. As you peek into dark places, you bring out the light, brilliance, and joy that you and the world desperately need.
Have you struggled to fit in and felt something is missing? Have you wondered and worried that maybe you lack some vital piece and something is wrong with you?
You've ached and searched for that elusive something that brings meaning, depth, and an undefinable something. You can't describe what it is, what it looks or feels like, but you're sure it exists, and it's extremely important to live a life that is more than just struggle and survival.
When the goddess/angel/fairy/aunt opens the way in and invites you to “live the world,” and you feel an itch or a longing deep inside, you don’t need to know what it means, just that there’s something in you that responds deeply with a whispered "Yes," followed by an "Oh Yes, Please!"
Read with the eyes of your heart, allowing in the possibilities, the magic, and the love. Feel your inner knowing come to life, shimmering and pulsing with energy, vitality, and joy. Learn to “live the world,” and as you do, you’ll discover that you’re not the only one who feels these things.
May you discover small awakenings that speak to your heart’s knowing and allow you to realize that you can live the world of the dual path, walking both in this reality and in the realms of spirit – magic – love – the Universe, that which speak to your joyous heart.
May you live the world with love and joy in your heart,
AnnaMariah

What Our Customers Say
As an adult fan of YA novels, I enjoyed this book; I feel certain the kids who like YA and children's fantasy adventures will, too. Other reviews above make the story very clear -- I wanted to add that Dual Path's thoughtful and sometimes surprising adventures are very engaging, even though Nau isn't exploring the dystopian themes that are so popular in YA.
This book is a wonderful magical journey that I have loved reading to my kids. We have had so much fun discussing the infinte imagery as we got swept into this magical realm. And the discussions about Zemma and Aunt Joy's characterization have very profound as there is so much depth to the story.
Zemma's adventures seem to teach her (and the reader) that the more she's able to open
herself up to Life without judgements, the more magic will come her way. How delightful!
“This book is an adventure story where the most outrageous and startling things become ordinary. Guided by a seriously unlikely aunt, a 12-year-old girl’s experiences range from disquieting encounters to profound insight into the nature of our world. Whether you are pushing 90 or a teen like the reluctant heroine, her captivating quest might induce binge reading.” Y. Kelly
“An extraordinarily well-written tale, a soothing cup of tea and balm for your spirit! AnnaMariah lifted this story from your childhood dreams - the one that you, as a sensitive soul, had wished for. Follow along as our plucky young explorer journeys into the mystical realms with talking trees, fairies, magical gardens, the power of Gaia, the Spirit world, and all of life’s incredible wonders. Written with taught precision, if you love Harry Potter, you’ll love this just as much, if not more.”
