i just finished reading Brighid's Quest by PC Cast. its the sequel to Elphame's Choice.
i have fallin in love with this author.
she is a tremendous writer.
Brighid's Quest is about over coming her fears and being open to the impossible and almost everything in her life seems to be impossible.
she has to guide Cuchulainn shattered soul back from the Underworld, with no clue as to how she's going to mae it happen.
she's a centaur and her lifemate is human.
her fate is to be the High Shaman of her herd and she doesn't want it because of her mother.
she wants a simple life as a Huntress, but Epona has a different path for her.

here is an exert from Brighid's Quest.

Brighid turned from the basin and met Epona's eyes. "Why do you allow those who can be corrupted to drink of your Chalice?"
The Goddess smiled Kindly at her. "I granted my children free will. It is the greatest gift of all, but with freedom comes pain and evil. As well as love and courage. One cannot exist without the other. And, child-" she touched Brighid's face in a motherly caress that had the centaur's eyes filling with tears "- just because there is a chance of corruption it does not mean that chance will grow to fruition. Remember always that I believe in the good with in you, Brighid."

this is a wonderful book and it makes you believe that anything is possible and you can surpass all the difficulties that are placed in front of you if you just have hope, faith, and determination. just believe in yourself and you will be able to do anything you set your mind to.
