Join the Carmitchell sisters on an unexpectedly funny and fearlessly frank journey through the 78 cards in the tarot deck.
Annie Carmitchell had long used her tarot decks as a tool for spiritual guidance. During one of many late-night chats with her sister, it occurred to Annie that almost every shared memory reminded her of a particular tarot card. Her father? The Emperor. Her mother? Most certainly the Queen. And though her sister might take a turn as Magician or Knight, Bobbi embodied the best qualities of the Fool, trekking through life with little but a dog, a backpack, and boundless optimism.
Conversations With My Sister: A Fool’s Journey Through the Tarot is both a primer on the art of tarot and an inside look at an ordinary family with a wicked sense of humor. Its 58 fun-sized chapters make it the perfect beach or bedtime read, and by the time you reach the journey’s end, Annie and Bobbi will feel like your new best friends.
Who knew that tarot could be this funny?
