About the author (2002)

Born in China and raised in Japan by missionary parents, Gail Fairfield was encouraged to discover her own answers to life's questions. She was drawn to the tarot in 1973, and it has allowed her to combine her background in psychology and her practical experience as a teacher with her intuition to create the choicecentered view of life that she introduces here. She is also the author of ChoiceCentered Relating and the Tarot and ChoiceCentered Astrology. Fairfield currently lives in Bloomington, Indiana.
