"I'm worth your time", 5 Star Amazon Review by Mary Stan of VA.
This review is from: Born To Return The Gift (Volume 1) (Paperback)
Nyima is a woman in her fifty's who has been there, done that and had the shirt taken off her. She has seen it all and been through it all. If it had to do with physical, sexual, drug or alcohol abuse she was there. Yet, she survived to tell it all. This is a story that is not only thought provoking but it makes you stand up and take a look around yourself to ask what is holding you back if you think things are not going well.
Nyima saw a light and walked toward it. It was the best thing she did since it was God, in the end. She found her purpose in life and now holds her head high and walks straight. She will be the first to tell you that no one will do it for you and the first to show you how it is done. This story builds power, trust, and strength when you think you've lost it all. It also shows you that you do have a choice and when you make it you can follow through and not to doubt yourself. The author Catherine Johnson does a great job portraying this character and telling this story and there is something for everyone to learn and to read.

Struggling to see the reality beyond the illusion
The main premise of Plato's 'Cave Allegory' is that the highest and most fundamental reality is beyond the senses as we struggle for knowledge beyond the illusion of a material world.
It is possible that through our dreams we have an opportunity to understand the illusion of our own reality, a reality which we consciously control during our waking hours in order to function as expected.
In 'Born To Return The Gift' Nyima Robbins is confronted by her own reality to see how her experiences can be a stepping stone out of mediocrity and into excellence.

Interpretation of Recurring Dreams according to DreamMoods.com
Most dreams contain messages that serve to teach you something about yourself. However, soon after you wake up to go about your daily routine, you tend to quickly forget what you dream about. The message in recurring dreams may be so important and/or powerful that it refuses to go away. The frequent repetition of such dreams forces you to pay attention and confront the dream. It is desperately trying to tell you something. Such dreams are often nightmarish or frightening in their content, which also helps you to take notice and pay attention to them.
Recurring dreams are quite common and are often triggered by a certain life situation, transitional phase in life or a problem that keeps coming back again and again. These dreams may recur daily, once a week, or once a month. Whatever the frequency, there is little variation in the dream content itself. Such dreams may be highlighting a personal weakness, fear, or your inability to cope with something in your life - past or present.
The repetitive patterns in your dream reveal some of the most valuable information about yourself. It may point to a conflict, situation or matter in your waking life that remains unresolved or unsettled. Some urgent underlying message in your unconscious is demanding to be understood.

Can 'Born To Return The Gift', an Urban Novel Be Associated With Classics?
I turned on the TV last night and 'The Unit' was on. As the therapist (actress from one of the Poltergist movies, ?? - not sure) says, "We've got to go back to your dream to help your husband," my thoughts shot to how my book has something in common with some classics in which a dream, no matter how bizzare, has had purpose in reality.
First, look at the 'Wizard of OZ'. That dream served its purpose and seemed real . . . didn't it? Then, in 'It's A Wonderful Life' an angel without wings shows Jimmy Stewart what life would have been like for others if he had never been born. Last, but not least, how about the ghostly visits in Oliver Twist's 'Scrooge'.
'Born To Return The Gift', is a story like these classics. It is meant to entertain while provoking thought about the way we often fail to see what's right in front of us, the way we take things things for granted, and the way bad experiences can promote bad attitudes that stop blessings for self and others.
In 'Born To Return The Gift' a nightmare exposes a painful past to help Nyima Chante Robbins understand the impact of her choices, how they've influenced her present predicament, and how she has the power to make choices for a better future.

Thought provoking, intersting book!, By Theresa Hurley (USA)
"Born to Return the Gift" by Catherine E. Johnson is a book that keep me turning the pages as I accompanied Nyima through her struggles. A strong character, Nyima tries to find meaning in her life as she battles her personal demons - clinical depression and post traumatic stress disorder. Her life was difficult, full of bad choices. Now at the age of 50, Nyima faces a true battle within herself as she tries to become the person she was meant to be.
A great work by Catherine Johnson, the book looks at spirituality, society and the presence of God in our life. I totally enjoyed reading this book and I highly recommend it. A really great read!

Is It Possible To Step Into A Different Realm?
Nyima, the main character in Born To Return The Gift, has been having a recurring nightmare for almost five years, and she wakes up at the same time, every time.
This time she thinks she’s awoke until she opens a door and the real nightmare begins. Do you think it’s possible for someone to actually step into a different realm in parallel time?
Look for the book trailer that will be coming to this site and Youtube within the next few weeks.

A writer is dear and necessary for us only in the measure of which he reveals to us the inner workings of his very soul. ~ Count Leo Tolstoy
