A novel based on spiritual truths, with messages from Heaven.
Alchemy is the art of changing lead into gold. Spiritual alchemy is the art of transforming a leaden soul into a golden light. Angels are spiritual alchemists, and this is the story of how they perform their magic.
Donatella Capriani's only goal is to marry the charismatic and powerful Nick Brutelli. Willing to do whatever it takes to win his heart, she strikes a bargain with God. An extraordinary sign in the sky leads her to a modest house in the Pacific Northwest where she finds Maya, a mystic who communicates with angels.
On the surface, Maya appears to be an average woman with a house full of kids, but her life is far from normal. She spends her days talking to angels and delivering their messages to those who are led to her threshold.
Thanks to Maya's assistance, Donatella gets her wish. She and Nick wed, and Donatella lives the life of a rich man's wife. But a fast lifestyle and Nick's desire for other women threaten her happiness. The marriage soon falls apart, and she runs to Maya for help. This time, Donatella's goal is to save her soul.
Excerpt
It is important to remember that you returned upon this earth to explore the infinite dimensions of love, and to discover why loving another has caused you such pain. Many lifetimes now have passed with your heart chakra…
Maya was unable to grasp the words and complete the sentence. She slowly moved back and forth, as if to reestablish the connection, and then continued the reading.
You have given too much and received too little in the ways of safety and security and love. In this lifetime you must demand a balance, and you must voice your demands. If you do not speak, your words cannot be heard, for only through the power of the word can the ears hear. This is one of your lessons and part of the karma you are to overcome. It is imperative that you speak your truth, and it is extremely simple, but you cannot envision yourself doing it; therefore, you cannot do it.

A glance at Donna Gatti's resume reassures her readers that she has had lifelong active mystical experiences and truly knows her stuff. But what you cannot see from her resume is what a brilliant storyteller she is!
Angels and Alchemy, Gatti's first novel, is a riveting story of a woman so deeply enmeshed with a mistaken perspective regarding love that she completely looses herself in the process. Following her intuition, our heroine continues to maintain a relationship with the one person who can guide her through her rediscovery of her authentic self and the true nature of love.
Gatti's story is well written with a seamless plot and beautifully developed characters whose reality leaps off the page! -- Kathryn Lanier, Innerchange Book Reviews
