Sapphire Daulby's 'gift' had relentlessly tormented her mind and soul, in spite of the powerful spiritual help that she was able to offer those in need, during a crisis. Her ability to predict future events through her dreams led her to experience events during her sleep, in places and times that seemed unimaginable. She was blessed with the ability to portray her 'visions' through her unique style of painting, for which she gained world acclaim, and which opened up greater opportunities for her career, as an artist, in America. The nightly journeys, and psychic connections she encountered, brought about a series of turbulent interactions with both the living and the dead. The quiet voices within her mind guided her through her life, calling her to where she could work her healing powers. One such calling concluded in a deep and spiritual connection and the ultimate union of souls. Sapphire and Todd Fraser's love story was nothing less than incredulous. But could anything so perfect last forever? Bags of memories from the present, past and future were carried through her life, weighing down her weary spirit. When people regarded her as an 'angel' she felt shame for, secretly, she longed to be free of the chains of the onerous work she had been chosen to fulfil. Setting her spirit free was the toughest challenge of all. How would she find the pathway to the Light?
