When I first envisioned The Ushering, the image wasn’t of a war, a machine, or a prophecy. It was a little girl—barefoot in the sand, walking toward something no one else could see.
Why her? Why a child? Why a girl?
Because in our most pivotal moments, change rarely begins with power. It begins with purity. With intuition. With love.
Cass, the heart of The Ushering, represents a force the world often underestimates: the spiritual intelligence of women—especially mothers. This book is dedicated to that quiet strength. That unshakable resilience. That timeless instinct to protect, heal, and transform.
She doesn’t start a war. She starts a wave.
