Previously from Her Magic Mushroom Memoir...
Chris reluctantly met with Lidiya in a stunning Beverly Hills guesthouse, fully expecting to turn her down. But as she shared childhood memories—hookworms, a collapsed stepfather, a funeral canister named "Maxwell"—he started to reconsider. Through laughter and loss, something shifted. Lidiya wasn't pitching a book anymore—she was opening a vein. And Chris, whether he was ready or not, was already in too deep to walk away.
In this next chapter, Lidiya and Chris go deeper—into espionage, prophecy, and the blurry edges of truth. We learn about Maxwell, the not-so-banker stepfather who helped trigger the Manhattan Project. About Allen Dulles, silent meetings, and suspicions that never quite fade. And then we meet Exa—part legend, part sister—whose own mysterious past intertwines with Lidiya's in ways neither of them could have imagined. As Chris listens, the pieces begin to shift into place... and so does his purpose.
