HOME - SALINA BRETT

Are you searching for a story that resonates within your soul, a journey that mirrors your
own quest for meaning, purpose, and connection? Wren is more than a novel—it’s a spiritual experience, a guide through the complexities of life, love, and the divine mysteries that shape our existence.

A common sparrow named Wren lives in a mythical land where animals possess wisdom
and spirituality. Her life takes an extraordinary turn when Alnore, the revered spiritual guide and protector of the land, chooses her to be his successor. Under Alnore’s mentorship, Wren embarks on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment, meeting a captivating cast of unique characters along the way.

One of her first friends is Betts, a kind-hearted beaver who teaches Wren the values of family and community. She also encounters Reinna, a wise macaw whose profound insights
challenge her to see beyond the physical world. However, it is Fannie, a nearsighted and delightfully quirky flamingo, who captures Wren’s heart. Through their love, Wren learns the depth and power of true connection.

Despite the guidance and support of her friends, Wren’s journey is filled with obstacles.
Alnore’s ancient nemesis, Styxn, a malevolent creature of chaos, seeks to thwart Wren’s rise. He is joined by Mouse, a rat with a cunning mind, and Bubo, a ruthless owl, both of whom sow seeds of doubt in Wren’s heart and challenge her belief in the Light of All.

As these adversaries push her to her limits, Wren grapples with insecurities and questions
about her identity and purpose in life. The Question, the one that has forever troubled and
driven her —”What is true?”—becomes a guiding light in her darkest moments. To fulfill her destiny, Wren must conquer these challenges, trust her inner light, and discover her true identity.

ABOUT THE BOOK

I am Wren, and you are loved.

Dear friends, this story is mine, but it is also yours. Most of you will recognize me from the many tales of Alnore and Wren. But as I speak, some of you will notice a reflection of yourself. An empty place inside you will tug and stomp, trying to grab your attention. It’s the innermost center of who you are. It is an inner space into which our heart pours relationships and passions and desires and a thousand other near truths and falsehoods, believing if we can only find that one special thing, it will satisfy us and then, finally, our yearning hearts will be at peace

My story includes those who sought to fill or smother that center space with affirmation, with power, with anger, with religion, with work, with fun and hundreds of other experiences in our lives. I did the same, but that inner void remained empty. I couldn’t fill it because I couldn’t find the center of what holds me together, the same center that binds us all as one life, one creature.

Alnore counseled many of you on this branch of the Sacred Tree. I am here because the void within me is sacred. My yearning was not from any lack within my sacred center. No, that divine space seeks to remain empty, open, pure, inviting – a place apart and untarnished from the desires of the world. This sacred center is a place of inner peace. It is an opening, a connection through which the purest essence of existence flows – love.

Today, I will tell you how Styxn, that creature of darkness, sought to kill Alnore and how his student, Mouse, was both my friend and my enemy. I will speak of Alnore’s love for me and all of you and why it was I came to leave him, betray him, die, and become as he was.

The stories of my life are becoming legends, tales that seize the ears of others because they are stretched and colored beyond reality. Though they are a delight to both storyteller and listener, they obscure the Light that points to x that divine space within us. I am not that Light. I’m no different than you. But in hearing my life story, the careful listener will discover their own sacred center. I know this because I touched the Love of All who is the sacred center within all of us. Now, my dear friends, listen, for my words are true.
