by Lisa Van Der Wielen (Author) This is a story about the power of the universe, but most importantly, the power of belief in oneself. Elise is sixteen years old and has the world at her feet. She writes to the universe regularly, asking for signs and guidance. As life presents her with challenges, lessons and heartbreaks, she continues to write and reflect on her life and the choices she has made. What would forty-year-old Elise tell her sixteen-year-old self? Dear Universe is an inspirational story about the journey to self-discovery and the immense power of love. It captures the struggles of navigating life and love as a young woman with congenital heart disease and undiagnosed autism, through her voyage of reflection and contemplation as she learns to understand the powers of the universe.
