"Letting Go: A Rite of Passage" shares personal details of the author's life, from her adoption, a mother with narcissistic personality disorder, to her early marriage, motherhood and a second failed relationship that took nearly a decade to recover from thanks to his mental illness and her excessive drinking. Concentrating on her career - learning the television agent business - and her two children provided the anchors she needed. Vice president in a top sports management company in New York City brought valuable experience but highlighted the inequalities of the workplace in the 1980s, leading her to quit and move to California to start her own company.
That move proves life changing when a physical owl on several of her nightly dog walks confronts Sage. The physical owl experiences transform into ubiquitous images on magazines and books. She begins to recognize there may be a spiritual element as well when a magazine called "Shaman's Drum" offers opportunities in the back of the magazine to explore shamanic practices with various people in the Los Angeles area. Years of exploration led Sage to Angles Arrien's program in Sausalito where Arrien's courses allowed attendees to find their individual way in walking "the spiritual path with practical feet." The owl became a symbol for her life, and Arrien's invitation to do a life review to step into conscious aging provided the impetus to reflect upon and write about her life and its meaning.
Author Jean Sage, born in New York City, was adopted and grew up in Pittsford, N.Y. She lives in the Mount Shasta, California area with her husband, Tim Corcoran, founder of Headwaters Outdoor School, their 3 dogs, and of course, an Owl. Still involved as a television newsagent, she travels between New York and California attending to her clients. All proceeds from the book will go to the nonprofit Walker/Hupp Fund, an affiliate of Upper Reaches that helps young men and women attend Headwaters Outdoor School, which teaches them to connect deeply with nature as a means to instill a sense of honor, self-responsibility, integrity, and service to their communities.
Sage started the Walker/Hupp Fund in honor of a friend who had served in Special Operations during the Vietnam War. He survived the war but was never the same upon his return.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
