How do we find the courage to always be true to ourselves-even if we are unsure of who we are?

Reviews
Athena (self named) adopted daughter of a Lebanese family grows up in the united states. From an early age she becomes enchanted w/ spiritual mysticism and allows herself to become one with the spirits of possession; all the while manipulating the powers of the Spirits and everyone around her to do her ego based bidding..... Which of course leads her into stormy relationships and eventually inescapable trouble. Needless to say I didn't like her nor did I have empathy for her.
Her life story is told from different povs of those who were entangled in her web.
The book is richly written in a style evocative of the mystical & lush life of a "spiritualist".... A nice piece of literature that I did not care for, but makes me understand why so many others like his writing!
It’s intersting and unique because it is basically a bunch of interviews with differential characters that know Athena.
But it is magical. Athena is a soul sister and I have received so much from this. My friend passed it on to me and now told me to keep passing this along.
