title: Into the Darkness, Become the Light: A Journey of Divine Healing
author: Stacy L. Pintor LCSW
description: Stacy L. Pintor, a licensed clinical social worker, writer, and poet, has been writing poetry since early adolescence. She is a former military officer and civil engineer. She experienced the tragic loss of her husband during the Iraq war and has been raising their bright, radiant daughter as a single parent for the past 13 years. The resultant trauma led her to write more poetry and eventually led to this book of poems. Stacy writes poetry to commune with her soul. Her style is automatic writing and later refined into poems. She states this style of writing is a way to channel her inner knowing, thus the Divine within. Her experience as a psychotherapist and social worker includes: psychospiritual workshops, assessing and providing individual and group psychotherapy to active duty service members, hospital social work, and hospice care. She also offers a blog of psychospiritual healing skills as strategies to resolve suffering and to elevate one's energetic vibrational frequency. The skills are derived from both her professional mental health background and personal spiritual use. http://baresoulpah.com

  After a deal with loan sharks sours, Darlene’s brother is permanently
  transformed into a chipmunk. Not one to accept impossibility as a good excuse
  for failure, she’s determined to rescue her brother and secure revenge against
  those who’d poisoned him with grade-a transformatives.

  If she wants to perform a miracle, she’ll need to join forces with a divine,
  but the man upstairs and his angels refuse to help.

  None of the other so-called benevolent divines are willing to help her,

  Running out of time and options, Darlene prepares to storm the gates of hell
  for her brother.
