Evangeline The Seer of Wall St.
Clint Adams, author

Adult; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)

The stars are infallible; one's true destiny cannot be altered. Or can it? A descendant of presidents John and John Quincy Adams, and the black sheep of her family, astrologer Evangeline Adams flees provincial Boston in 1899 to launch her business in New York City. On the train ride, she casts her own horoscopic chart. Her findings--death on November 10, 1932 and an unusual intimate union--alarm her. Soon after, she meets actress and suffragist Emma Sheridan-Fry, and she spends the rest of her life torn between society's restrictions and the trail-blazing nature that made her one of the most prominent female businesswomen of her time. Peopled with real historical figures, including J.P. Morgan, King Edward VII, Enrico Caruso, Rudolph Valentino, Charles Schwab, Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin.

“Six thousand five hundred and seventy days remain in my life, according to my astrological calculations.” This is a quote from Evangeline Adams who becomes famous as the seer of Wall Street. Not only is she a descendant of President John Quincy Adams, she one of America’s first female entrepreneurs.

Author Clint Adams has learned through thousands of hours of research and development that he is not part of Evangeline Adams’ lineage. His diligent research births this incredible historical fiction based on facts that he presents extremely well while telling Evangeline Adams’ life as an American astrologist.

Evangeline navigates adversity at the threshold of the Twenty Century in American society where women just acquired the right to vote, where women were not acknowledged as business professionals and where astrology was kept in the shadows due to “witchcraft” references by the religious and sometimes elite.

To help you understand that Evangeline is not a fortuneteller here are a couple of quotes from Evangeline herself as she explains differences between astronomy and astrology to a judge.

“Astronomy is the study of all objects outside our world. It, too, is a science. Astronomy, you could say, came from astrology. Yes, you are correct when you mentioned interpretation. Astrology is the oldest, most ancient, of all sciences.”

“Yes. Astrology is the science which describes the influence of the heavenly bodies upon mundane affairs, upon human character and life. To be most clear-cut, it is a mathematical or exact science deciphered via astronomy, which describes the heavenly bodies and explains their motions, etc.”

If you have an interest in history as it relates to the mindset of the most powerful people on Wall Street and on the world stage this is a must read. Learn how astrology influenced the business decisions that have affected trade, commerce and currency, influence and wealth in America and around the world.

Real life influential people including J.P. Morgan, King Edward VII, Enrico Caruso, Rudolph Valentino, Charles Schwab, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Emma Sheridan-Fry (who was known to have been a ‘companion’ of Evangeline's) and occult figure Aleister Crowley sought the expert advice from “Evangeline: The Seer of Wall St.”

Get to know Miss Evangeline Adams’ life, business, relationships, romance and internal struggles for answers of her own. This is an interesting quote from Evangeline. “What can be understood is what the stars have in store, the free will we possess and how it affects our destiny. But the ways in which the Almighty intervenes is a concept that left even me baffled. Speaking to clergy had led me nowhere, since every member I’d ever sought out had refused interaction with me. This was what upset me most, for my beloved astrology to be confused with demonology, in addition to me time and time again being written off. How very unfair.”

Cold Coffee Press endorses ‘EVANGELINE: The Seer of Wall St.’ by Clint Adams for his ability to bring the reader into this period of time in U.S. History where Evangeline’s services were not commercial entertainment, but surprisingly essential and routine for our country’s, and the world’s, most influential people. We were given this book to review in a PDF format. The review was completed on June 22, 2015. For more information please visit Cold Coffee Press.

My prediction is Evangeline The Seer Of Wall st. by Clint Adams is a one of a kind, set in the stars story that you will be talking about months after reading.
This is the unbelievable but true account of astrologer Evangeline Adams, descendant of presidents John and John Quincy Adams, who in 1899 launched her own Astrology business in New York City.

In a period when women faced hurdles and obstacles, we follow Evangeline Adams as she defends her character in court, was ousted from hotels because of her "witchcraft" trade but ended up influencing and working with some of the most wealthy and influential people in the world.

Clint Adams did a remarkable job with the main character. Evangeline Adams was a complex, misunderstood lady, but from the first page, I forgot that the story was being written by a man. How Mr. Adams did this had to be summed up to lots of research, a passion for the project and raw, sheer, justified talent. The only regret I felt was finding out Clint Adams was not related to Evangeline Adams.

I love historical biographies but when they are written from the main characters point of view and done right they are an instant masterpiece in my opinion.

Other than just a pure joy to read was the pleasure of learning about the differences between astronomy and astrology - Evangeline Adams says, “Astronomy is the study of all objects outside our world. It, too, is a science. Astronomy, you could say, came from astrology. Yes, you are correct when you mentioned interpretation. Astrology is the oldest, most ancient, of all sciences.”

“Yes. Astrology is the science which describes the influence of the heavenly bodies upon mundane affairs, upon human character and life. To be most clear-cut, it is a mathematical or exact science deciphered via astronomy, which describes the heavenly bodies and explains their motions, etc.”

Being a Virgo , I instantly connected with Evangeline's traveling secretary, a Virgo who was described as "an over thinker." The use of horoscope signs are threaded through the entire story to instantly describe character's Evangeline encountered. What a concept. With a few words of a characters horoscope description, we know all we need to know about that character. WELL DONE Mr. Adams.

“Six thousand five hundred and seventy days remain in my life, according to my astrological calculations,” Evangeline said. but at the end she favored and savored each day as you will each page.

Delightful,humorous, enjoyable and a work of pure captivation - Evangeline The Seer Of Wall st. is the book of the year that you do not want to miss. It has everything you want in a good story and more. I foresee and predict, you will feel the same, after you have read Evangeline The Seer Of Wall st. by Clint Adams. A MUST read!

Once again just had to send a review regarding Evangeline Seer of Wall Street. Not only does this book remind those of us of the tremendous number of hurdles women had to face to become recognized to even approach equal status, but the extremely significant importance of
Evangeline's and her work toward achieving higher ground during her era.

The financiers were so enamored with the idea of receiving help from Evangeline's accurate predictions, that they followed her advice to the
letter --- usually prospering a great deal in the end.

It was interesting to be reminded and read of the degree to which most women were controlled by the male segment.

The colorful and humorous situations that occurred were most enjoyable.

Thank you for a delightful book.

With thanks.

Honestly, this has been the most delightful book I've read.
It is wonderful to step out of today and travel back in time. The author's explicit descriptions of the apparel, gestures, scenes are remarkable -- (I feel as though I'm there living the full experience in "Evangeline's" world.)

Through the trust and respect of "EVANGELINE" --- "Seer of Wall Street," it is amazing to learn how some of our financiers followed her guidance so completely, catapulting their business ventures to one day be the powerful financial institutions they are today.

Happily I highly recommend this book and look forward to others in the future. BRAVO!!!

A very well written book, written in such a way you were transported back in time and felt you were living the with the characters.

With the use of topical events and society gossip of the time the author regaled a tale of life as a single woman in her quest for love, respect and belief in her work.

Evangeline’s life was accurately documented through true historical events  and the authors clever use of diction and obvious research. The ending like the novel was as complex as it was natural.

Quite a unique with a very distinctive twist.
