Geraldina & the Compass Rose - by Geraldine Brown Giomblanco (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

One woman's story of refusing to lose faith or settle for the wrong kind of love...and what a secret sorrow taught her.

Geraldine Brown Giomblanco's unusually strong intuition is propelling her up the ranks in fashion, retail, and marketing, and she's matching up girlfriends one by one with the guys they will marry.

She's smart, attractive, loving, and grounded in faith. So, why is she still single?

In this dazzling memoir, Brown Giomblanco brings to life the devotion to God she learns from her beloved grandma Rosaria and lessons she gains from a gigolo, a psychic, guardian angels and saints, a US president, and a string of unsuitable boyfriends. From the Garment District to Venice to a yacht off sun-splashed Montauk, she hangs on to hope as she searches for her own Mr. Right.

Then, the incredible happens, and it utterly changes her life.

Can spirits of the departed really speak to us on Earth?

Geraldina and the Compass Rose is an uplifting and empowering story about faith and maintaining hope, because prayers do get answered and miraculous things do happen to ordinary people.

Review Quotes

The underlying theme of the memoir is best summed up with a quote from the Brazilian novelist Paulo Coelho de Souza, known for his novel, The Alchemist: "None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith." It is this Faith as well as a strong belief in a guardian angel that helped Geraldine deal with many life challenges and ultimately meet the love of her life. When she coupled her faith with the power of her mind, and where she made her thoughts the primary creative forces in her life, she was able to awaken a whole new experience of potential and opportunity.

Geraldine Brown Giomblanco's compelling memoir Geraldina & the Compass Rose is an inspirational read that prompts to self-reflection and action. By telling her story in a most candid way, the book outgrows just one person and gradually reveals its reflective surface in which the reader's own psyche is mirrored.
