SYNOPSIS:
         Much of life is unseen, unsaid…
Geni, childless, asthmatic, a 60+ artist mourns her husband’s death from COVID 19 and sinks deeper into depression upon the demise of her beloved pet cat. She begins to contemplate suicide but attempts to re-group by vacationing to ancient Anasazi ruins. She draws a picture with a puma and an uncanny hybrid feline appears—this is the Amandapuss who materializes periodically to hone Geni’s consciousness.
     When a desert storm sweeps away Geni’s backpack and inhaler, she gives chase and becomes lost. Journeying through a slot canyon she encounters an emotionally abused boy, greedy ranchers fighting over land and others who unveil her scorn with humanity. Meeting a mermaid, parental ghosts and talking animals, Geni evolves through magical encounters.
     Shape-shifting, she escapes rising flash flood waters to save herself and Rosette Porcupine by swimming the Unified Field of ancestral energy and love. She re-connects to life realizing the cat spirit of the puma has mothered her into completion.
