Summary: "The Fifth Goddess" by Staci Backauskas
Review: Sometimes balance is found through pulling between extremes; from the first page of "The Fifth Goddess", it's clear this is not a story that only skims the surface. This is the story of Rena, a woman with issues and passions, and we get to know her as she struggles withher search for self-actualization. This is an exciting story of transformation through extremes - how, by accepting the darker aspects of the self, one can come into balance. How can you see light without shadow?

The different sides of Rena's personality are voices that come in loud and clear, and we listen to her inner dialogue in her search for personal truth and happiness. Compassionately written, with intriguing, intelligent characters. I anxiously look forward to the sequel (... or the movie?)
