Das T rchen sprang einen Spalt auf und ich einen Satz zur ck. Warum so schreckhaft? Kopfsch ttelnd trat ich wieder n her und ffnete die kleine, berraschend stabile T r. Voll Erstaunen, gekoppelt mit kompletter Erstarrung, entdeckte ich einen einzelnen wei en Umschlag darin. Der erste Brief von Mam in der neuen Stadt ... Cleos magische Reise geht weiter. Sie hat den Schritt gewagt in ein neues Land. In eine neue Stadt. In ein ganz neues Leben, in dem die Schwierigkeiten kein Ende zu nehmen scheinen. Die Meisterin misstraut ihr und bringt ihr nur das N tigste ber ihre Gabe bei. Sie lernt die Familie ihrer Mutter kennen, von der sie abgelehnt und missverstanden wird. Hinzukommen der Schulwechsel, eine Gabe, die sich immer weiter entwickelt und Tr ume, die ihr immer mehr Kopfzerbrechen bereiten. Das alles macht das Leben der jungen Hexe nicht einfacher. Doch aufgeben kommt nicht in Frage Cleos Freunde und ihr Vater versuchen, sie aus der Ferne so gut wie m glich zu unterst tzen ... und die Briefe ihrer verstorbenen Mutter finden sogar den Weg nach London
Hej, ich hei e Cleo. Eigentlich Cleophea, aber wer will schon so hei en? Heute ist mein 16. Geburtstag. Ich sollte mich freuen, feiern, mit Freunden Party machen, aber am liebsten w rde ich mich auf eine weit entfernte Insel beamen, am besten ohne Post- und Internetanschluss ... Wer erwartet schon Geburtstagsgr e von der verstorbenen Mutter, zwei Jahre nach ihrem Tod? Was als Anlass zum Feiern gedacht ist, entpuppt sich als ein Tag, der ihr gesamtes Leben durcheinanderbringt. In dem Schreiben wird Cleo er ffnet, dass sie eine magische Gen-Mutation in sich tr gt, die sich immer schneller entwickelt und so weit f hrt, dass sie kaum noch das Haus verlassen kann. Ihre beste Freundin wird zu ihrer wichtigsten St tze, denn es bleibt nicht nur bei dem einen Brief. Wie kommt Cleo mit ihrer Gabe zurande, die zun chst nur Chaos produziert? Wie lernt sie damit umzugehen? Und wer verschickt diese Briefe?

"The Streets don't love you or nobody baby. It'll suck the life right out of you leaving you dead or in jail..." ~Faith Prescott Preston "P.J." Prescott happened to be a victim of the street life. Seems the more he tried to get out, he made decisions that lead him in the game deeper, and by the day. Losing his pops at an early age made he strong but it left him weak as well. With his father being away in prison for life, there was nobody to teach how to be a man. He learned from the only father he ever knew, his single mother of five, his mother. He watched he struggle to take care of him and his two sisters, and two cousins. When you live the struggle, you only dream is to get out of the struggle.

In this two-part book, readers learn how to prioritize their needs, feel confident in their worth, heal from past trauma, and get permission to go after their goals and dreams without feeling selfish. With pithy and powerful insights, and words of encouragement, love, and advice from other black women, Sis, You Are the Universe helps black women be the best versions of themselves filled with purpose, happiness, and power.
