Nora Caron was born on June 8, 1981 in Montreal. She was raised in both a French and English environment, not an ordinary thing in French-speaking Quebec. Growing up, she traveled to many countries with her mother, father and younger brother, Sasha. Her father was a philosophy teacher, and her mother a language teacher. In CEGEP (the equivalent of Junior College), she delved into photography, film, ceramics and became a photo-journalist for two Quebec magazines. Nora specialized in the music sections of Kraken and The Edge and enjoyed the press passes that came with her exciting job.

At twenty, Nora was accepted into university in psychology. After a year of being crammed in auditoriums with seven hundred other students, she became disillusioned with the dehumanizing program and decided to change to English Literature. She graduated from university in 2006 with a B.A in English Literature and minor in Spanish and German, and then, took a year off to meditate.

Nora is presently completing her Masters in English Literature and working on a thesis which will focus on Shakespeare’s representation of madness on stage. She divides her time between playing the violin and guitar, singing opera, and doing kung fu. Nora enjoys running, tennis, snowboarding, rock climbing, traveling to exotic places and reading about psychology, spirituality, philosophy and history. Presently, she is a private English, Spanish, German and French teacher. She also practices REIKI.

Journey to the Heart, Nora’s first spiritual novel, is the result of her years struggling within a society that values money and work more than individual happiness and health. Her tale speaks of her own difficult but enlightening love journeys, which taught her many crucial lessons concerning self-love and self-respect.

 

Summary of Journey to the Heart

Journey to the Heart is the tale of how one can rise from the ashes of suffering and heal love scars. Lucina, a twenty five year-old Canadian computer programmer, travels to Mexico in order to heal herself after a terrible burn-out and yet another bad relationship. By chance, she encounters a deeply insightful Mexican woman named Senora Labotta, who slowly helps her come into contact with her inner Self. But Lucina is stubborn and jaded, and has difficulty stepping out of her past into a universe of fluidity and acceptance. When she meets Teleo, a charming green-eyed healer, Lucina must make a decision: either return to her fears and anxieties, or enter her heart, a place she knows very little of.
