Hopeful and Empowered
Gratitude with Grace: Finding Happiness is a deeply personal and heartfelt guide to self-love, healing, and spiritual transformation, drawing on your own life to share your hardships, healing, and growth with readers, providing them with a roadmap to find joy in their own lives. Why was this an important book for you to write?
At one of the lowest points in my life, I felt hollow, weighed down by depression, anxiety, and stress. Therapy was not helping, and I was desperate for relief. One day, a song on the radio instantly lifted me. Soon after, I watched a YouTube video about do-it-yourself crafts that sparked a brand new hobby and reignited my creativity. Those two moments opened a door to the spiritual side I had sensed since childhood when the jingle of my mother’s keys told me she was near. As I reconnected with that intuition, I realized I am an intuitive psychic whose path is to inspire others. If I could climb out of that darkness, maybe my experience could guide someone else. The words poured onto the screen, and each time I paused, I heard the same inner nudge. Keep writing. A lightbulb moment sparked it all, and this book was born from that.
I appreciated the candid nature with which you told your story. What was the hardest thing for you to write about?
Reliving the season when I had to hire a lawyer to protect my home was a painful experience. I was juggling sleepless nights, a second job, and a level of anxiety that felt like rock bottom. One day, I broke down and had a heart-to-heart talk with God, which I mention in the book. A few weeks later, at my second job, small blessings began to appear, and something was said to me that made it clear heaven had been listening the whole time. Again, read the book to find out exactly what happened.
Facing my inner self and accepting that I was psychic was also tricky. That word still felt taboo. However, with the rise of new-age spirituality, I found the strength to face my fears. Because with God, all things are possible.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
Women are often taught to stay quiet or, in other words, to be people pleasers. The message is to be seen and not heard, the same thing you might tell a child. History shows how hard we fought for the right to vote and even to hold a credit card in our names, and in many countries today, women are still oppressed. Yet we rise and speak, just as Malala Yousafzai did because, at the end of the day, we want education, equal pay, and the freedom to choose the life we live. We can achieve that through the power of our voices and by learning to say no, saying no means refusing to remain in a relationship that no longer serves us or a job that diminishes our worth. When we claim our voices, we discover our true strength and inspire others to do the same.
What is one thing that you hope readers take away from Gratitude with Grace?
I hope each reader finishes the book feeling hopeful and empowered. The divine is always near, guiding through intuition and synchronicity, whether it is a missed bus that leads to a chance meeting or a melody that lifts the heart. Small choices, such as turning up a favorite song, trying meditation, or picking up a joyful hobby, are baby steps that can create lasting change. There is always a bright side. Sometimes, you need to look at things from a new angle.
What are you working on now, and what can readers look forward to next?
I’m thrilled about my debut novel, The Whimsical Gifts of Emma, coming out this September. It’s a fourth-wall-breaking urban fantasy with a twist. If you love The Good Witch meets Deadpool/Clarissa Explains It All, you’ll be spellbound by this enchanting story full of slow-burn romance, magic, and mystery.

Gratitude with Grace: Finding Happiness
Gratitude with Grace: Finding Happiness is a deeply personal and heartfelt guide to self-love, healing, and spiritual transformation. Written in an accessible and conversational tone, Anita Fonteboa draws from her own life—her hardships, her healing, and her growth—to offer readers a roadmap to joy. The book is organized into thematic chapters that tackle gratitude, manifestation, intuition, and self-awareness. It encourages readers to tune into their inner voice, shift their mindset, and connect to something greater—be it God, angels, or the universe. Through affirmations, real-life anecdotes, meditative practices, and soulful wisdom, the book leads you to discover your own light, even in the darkest moments.
Reading this felt like having a warm and honest chat with a wise friend who’s been through the wringer and still found reasons to smile. I appreciated how Anita doesn’t hide behind theory or abstract advice. She gives you the raw truth of her lived experience, from financial struggles and single motherhood to spiritual awakenings. That honesty makes her message land with impact. The writing is simple, direct, and full of warmth. She repeats her messages often, which might bother some readers, but to me it felt intentional, like a mantra. I especially loved the affirmations peppered throughout the book. At times, I actually found myself saying them out loud, which is a testament to the author’s ability to make her words feel like an invitation rather than a command.
There were moments I wished for more clarity or a deeper dive into certain tools she mentions, like grounding or chakras, which are touched on. Still, the emotion is always present, and that’s what kept me hooked. This isn’t a textbook or a clinical how-to. It’s a love letter to the person who’s struggling but still showing up every day. And that makes it an incredible tool. Chapter 8 was one of my favorite parts of the book because it felt like the heart of everything Anita had been building up to. It was empowering and full of emotional honesty. I loved how she tied all the previous lessons together and reminded us that happiness isn’t something you wait for, it’s something you claim.
I’d recommend Gratitude with Grace to anyone who’s feeling stuck, broken, or lost in the noise of daily life. It’s perfect for readers new to the world of self-help or spiritual growth, especially those who resonate with personal storytelling and faith-driven inspiration. If you’ve ever whispered “there has to be more than this,” this book might just be the soft nudge toward that “more.” It won’t change your life in one read—but it just might remind you that you can. And that’s more than enough to start.

Empathic Evolution: An Invitation from the Council of We
Jennifer Elizabeth Moore’s Empathic Evolution is an introspective and spiritually charged exploration designed to connect deeply sensitive people—empaths—to their higher purpose. The book unfolds as a channeled guide from the “Council of We,” intertwining wisdom from spiritual teachings with practical insights on navigating emotional and energetic overwhelm. Moore takes readers on a journey through seven chakras, framing each chapter around themes like safety, pleasure, sovereignty, and communion. It’s part spiritual guide, part self-help manual, all aimed at healing, connection, and transformation.
One thing I noticed right away is how deeply personal and vulnerable Moore’s writing feels. She shares her journey with openness, recounting her struggles with self-doubt, trauma, and skepticism toward the very spiritual path she now champions. For instance, the story of her modified rosary practice during a period of brain recovery felt raw and authentic. Her shift from resistance to a connection with the divine made me feel like I wasn’t alone in my own doubts. That honesty is a highlight. It feels like a conversation with someone who truly understands the messy, emotional chaos of being an empath.
The structure of the book, built around the chakras, is inspired and works well to organize Moore’s teachings. The first chapter, “The Root: Safety,” sets a tone of compassionate grounding, explaining how disconnection from our bodies and the Earth creates a sense of insecurity. The metaphor of humans as “cells in the body of the Earth” stuck with me. It’s a vivid way to remind us of our interconnectedness, and it made me rethink how I see my own role in the larger picture of life. Yet, some passages veered toward abstract ideas, which might feel a bit nebulous if you’re not already familiar with spiritual jargon.
What I really appreciated were the practical tools and meditative exercises scattered throughout. The section on “Permission, Desire, and Creative Expression” reminded me of the ways I’ve dimmed my own desires, fearing judgment or failure. Moore’s emphasis on reclaiming pleasure and sovereignty felt like a wake-up call. She gives actionable advice—like visualizations or energy-clearing techniques—that make lofty concepts accessible.
Moore’s writing style is fluid and warm, but it’s also full of surprises. Her frequent digressions into personal anecdotes or historical and spiritual metaphors give the book a lively, textured feel. For me, it felt expansive, like an invitation to consider perspectives I hadn’t thought of before.
I’d recommend Empathic Evolution to anyone who feels deeply affected by the world—whether you’re an empath, a seeker, or just someone who wants to reconnect with yourself and others. It’s also ideal for those drawn to spiritual exploration or energy work. It’s not a light read, but it’s an enriching one, offering layers of insight for those willing to dive in. Moore’s honesty, passion, and hard-earned wisdom shine through, making this book both a guide and a companion on the journey toward emotional and spiritual wholeness.

Crossing the Centuries
Crossing the Centuries, by Brenda Hammon, is a fascinating journey into her ancestry’s spiritual and historical realms. Hammon connects with 165 spirits and energies from her family tree, offering readers an intricate tapestry of stories that span centuries. Through these connections, she brings forth a rich blend of personal anecdotes, spiritual encounters, and historical narratives that create a unique and compelling read.
Hammon’s writing is deeply personal and engaging. From the beginning, she invites readers into her world with vivid descriptions of her spiritual experiences. For instance, the account of her first angelic encounter at age five sets the book’s tone, illustrating her early connection with the spiritual realm. This blend of memoir and spiritual exploration makes the book relatable and thought-provoking. Her candid discussion of her struggles with accepting her gifts, such as the intense vertigo episode described in the first chapter, adds an authentic and human touch to the narrative.
One of the standout aspects of Hammon’s book is her ability to bring historical figures to life. The chapters dedicated to specific ancestors, like Stephen Hammond and Benjamin Hammond, are particularly compelling. Stephen Hammond’s recounting of his sudden heart attack and subsequent spiritual existence provides a poignant and introspective look at life after death. Similarly, Benjamin Hammond’s detailed descriptions of life in early 19th-century Connecticut and his soft-spoken demeanor make his story both informative and heartwarming. These chapters serve as a window into the past and highlight the enduring human spirit and its ability to transcend time.
While I enjoyed the book, I felt that the number of spirits and energies Hammon connects with can sometimes feel overwhelming, and keeping track of the various characters and their stories requires careful attention. The process of spirits revealing their stories, Hammon transcribing them, and the subsequent verification through research is a cycle that, though interesting, I believe can become somewhat predictable over time.
Crossing the Centuries is still a captivating read for anyone interested in spiritualism, genealogy, or personal narratives that bridge the gap between past and present. Brenda Hammon’s heartfelt writing and dedication to honoring her ancestors make this book a remarkable tribute to family history and spiritual connection.

Walking with Spirits
Walking with Spirits: Paying It Forward During a Global Pandemic is author Jamie Lee Mumford’s no-nonsense, “crazy connection” to the other side. In a touching recount of the birth of her fourth child, Chayse, who was left non-verbal and confined to a wheelchair after a traumatic birth – yet possessed a gift to interact with those unseen, Mumford details how the pandemic almost ruined the ode to what would have been his twentieth birthday.
As Mumford journeys through life’s stages, so do the easing of her psychic veil. Through dreams, flashes of objects passing out the corner of her eye, or the clear-as-day spirits that came to say hello on birthdays, they all confirmed that whatever gifts had laid dormant at one stage were alive. Utilizing her own mediumship gifts and connecting to the energy of Chayse on the other side, the spirit realm nudged Mumford into recruiting specific people to drive a community pantry initiative in Chayse’s honor. What follows is nothing short of phenomenal.
A heartwarming read that evoked goosebumps at every stage. The synchronicities, the ciphers: undeniable. The biggest skeptics would not be able to refute the connection between mother (despite being earth-side) and son (passed) in this gripping memoir.
Walking with Spirits: Paying It Forward During a Global Pandemic is for readers seeking comfort post the death of a loved one or having trouble following their intuition. This one is a must-read. Beautifully and honestly written, the first few pages will grip your heartstrings. Mumford creates an immediate connection with the reader at a post-pandemic time when many need it most, highlighting the good possible in tragedy. Readers can trust the pages to bring them a sense of comfort, closure, and an understanding that those on the other side are not lost; you just need to acknowledge the signs and embrace them.

Inside Your Heaven
For readers searching for a book that hypothesizes the contents of the afterlife, this one is for you. Whether you’ve experienced something paranormal or psychic, or choose to believe in a world beyond the present, then Inside Your Heaven: Inspiring Stories of the Afterlife by April Natale is a must-read.
In a unique storytelling fashion, Natale has an openness that is real and raw about the experiences so many of us come face to face with life. She tells her story in a heart-warming and comforting tone, allowing readers to feel the authenticity of her experience. Furthermore, the inclusion of pop culture quoted from the likes of bands, singers, poets, and beyond personalized Natale’s story and gave credibility to her spiritual awakening.
Across thirty-nine chapters, Natale shares her journey from an abused child to a self-actualized adult. Through intuition that can only be described as ‘gifts,’ her experiences are memorable and astonishing at times. She frequently received messages in her dreams, angel numbers, and emotional surges. Natale provides evidence of her gifts through the anecdotal testimonials of friends, family members, and complete strangers. It’s nothing short of mind-blowing.
Beyond talk of the mystic, this book encompasses the emotional themes of sorrow, loss, trauma, and how the spiritual world doubled as a coping mechanism across various stages of the author’s life. An entire chapter is dedicated to the stages of grief fought after the loss of her beloved step-father. It validates the depths of sadness of the loss of a love that is relatable and the individualism that comes with healing, including the guilt of those who continue to remain on earth.

LITERARY TITAN
