Elia, Daughter of the Earth is a powerful story about embracing our uniqueness and being true to who we are—no matter whether that brings us favor or threats. Elia is a young woman who’s had a difficult childhood but also realizes she has special gifts. Initially, she’s reluctant to let anyone know about her powers, but eventually she sees that she can help others by revealing them. She gains thousands of disciples as well as deep heartache when social media catapults her to global fame—and makes her a target. Her deep connection to the natural world provides her with the grounding and strength she needs to fulfill her destiny.

Elia, even with her extraordinary powers, is someone the reader easily relates to. On her journey, she finds love, friendship, loyalty, and other people with unique powers. The reader is captivated by her journey and cheers her every step of the way. This is a brave book, and an inspiring one. Highly recommended.
