Striving to Know: A Novelette
Bu e-kitob haqida
"Striving to Know" is a quick-read. At a small private college, as freshmen students find their way during the first semester, four students with varying interests become good friends. There's Holly, a psychology major with interest in parapsychology, who is looking forward to a summer internship at Harvard. There's Greg, who thinks he wants to major in electrical engineering. Charlie is immersed in his own world of religion, and Sarah is a geology-archaeology major.
Each faces challenges regarding their spiritual beliefs, and each becomes preoccupied with events and situations that take place in their lives while on campus-including the appearance of a mysterious man. In the midst of their difficulties, they learn of a monthly "Let's Talk" meeting held for students and the community with a spiritual adviser who answers questions, gives advice, and talks about how synchronicity takes place in their lives, clarifying how each person actually helps to create their own reality.
A work of religious fiction, Striving to Know tells a story about resolve, personal growth, and how friends' support for one another helps them to achieve their final goals.

Several years ago, while I was sleeping, I saw in white script lettering, “Write about life” then a very long white line “4th book.” At the time I thought, What can I write about that I haven’t already written that would be of interest to any reader? Having recently left a position at a local college, I have had time to think more about what that could be, since I am taking this as an assignment. Here it is, a Novelette... Sylvia Lavey earned a master of arts degree and has had careers in advertising and higher education, as well as being a naturalist. She has written three books about her personal experiences with angels: Synchronicity; Auras, Chakras, and Energy Fields; and Angels. Lavey has also appeared as a guest author on the subject. She currently lives in Ohio.
