The emblem on the book cover of Shrouded in Secrets, A
Memoir of Hidden Treasures from Life-Altering Events, is
taken from a wall sculpture created by artist, John Petrey, made
of a ruffled metal bodice and softened skirt. The sculpture itself
is hanging above Rev. Veronica K. Chilton's computer as
inspiration.
The top part of the dress sculpture is constructed from Tiffany
green patina textured copper, and oiled Lokta Nepalese paper
with inlaid jute for the skirt. The designs are illustrative of
the male/female aspects of Veronica's readers an clients she
refers to as Shield Maidens. She applies herself as an
Empath/Truth Seeker/Soul Keeper and Leader of The
Shield Maidens Social Movement.
The square inlaid jute sections of the skirt could be filled
with the topics of revelatory dreams, twin womb survival,
triangles, shadow identity, soul journey, assertiveness, inner
healing work, business challenges, caregiving, integrity and
faith.
The Shield Maiden’s Woven Metal Threads of Resilience
express the combined epitome of a Shield Maiden as
sometimes vulnerable, but honest in their feelings, who
eventually come to possess towering strength, insight and
generosity of spirit.
Veronica's second memoir is entitled The Priceless Truth,
A Bold Examination of Betrayal, Domestic Violence, Deaths
and the Opiate Crisis. A Shield Maidens Handbook: A
Companions Guidebook rounds out Rev. Veronica's bold
destiny in the series.
Her greatest aspiration is to watch Shield Maidens open up to
discovering their individual True Images and Soul Missions,
underneath their everyday obstacles, developing grit and potential
through the healing of grief, and coping with change, loss and
and recovery.
Rev. Veronica's book offerings are expressive of Veronica's riveting One Woman Journey about turning her wounds into wisdom, and tears into triumph. She survived life experiences of near death and redemption, wherein she faced peril, distress and trials for a higher purpose.
Her first book chronicles transcending adversity from abusive relationships during childhood, including incest, betrayal and abandonment experiences arising from recovered repressed memories. As a result she found her specialized brand of assertiveness and independence.
