The entire Series of The Visitor is covered in six books. This is the first book of the story.
**From the Author
When I wrote the story of Mirisa Eppes in 2007, I never intended for it to cover a lifetime but it seemed to just continue with no end in sight. In 2013, I took the story out and started trimming it and still the length was too much for one book. I finally decided to break it up into six volumes ending each one at a crucial point in her life.
