Reviews:
jennifer, 4/18/2001 Read this book!
Great book! Read it in three days (unusual for me). I find that people that have a strong adverse reaction to messages such as the book conveys are threatened that the energies described in the story may be real.
Dr. James K. Thompson, 2/25/2000 Worst Book I Have Read In A Very Long Time!!
I do not know what people are thinking when they give this book a positive review. I could hardly force myself to finish it and I wouldn't have if it wasn't this months book group selection. What terrible writing! Did this guy have an editor? If you like metaphysical fiction stick with Richard Bach or Mary Summer Rain or any number of authors who know how to write. I cannot express more strongly how much I hated this book. Very, very disappointing, but again it's Don Bradley writing this stuff. Bradley--why did you quickly depart Colorado?
Trish, 12/16/99 Wonderful Book!
I've already read this book 3 times. Haley reminded me that there is much more to life than meets the eye, that we can give and be more.
Daniel Fordien, 11/5/99 WASTE OF TIME!!
Bradley spins a tale that can't possibly be true. Read on DC to London flight. Time would have been better spent sleeping. Don't waste your time--watch X Files!!
Heather Trindell, 4/13/98, It went straight to my heart. I read it three times.
What a wonderful story, like reading a better than Razor's Edge with a sprinkling of the very best of Richard Bach.
RV, 2/13/98, A wonderful book!
Historical Fiction novel about a woman who found her inner self after going to India in the 1930's.
Becky from Tucson, AZ ,
2/11/98, Good story, great characters, especially for a New Age novel
I'm glad to see there is no longer a shortage of New Age novels.
Bradley gives us hope by showing that one can reach high spiritual
goals without being born on a mountain in Tibet and that even the
girl next door can help save the world.
A Reader, 07/24/97, What a
magnificent book!
John, 06/05/97, Just
wonderful! A woman beats the system, the odds, and...
the dark side of the force.
A Reader, 01/26/97, Don is
the next Richard Bach.
The more I read this book the more teaching I found in it.
A Reader, 01/24/97, What a
magical and fascinating tale...I bought two copies!
I never thought I would find a book to beat, "Out of Africa" this one
did.
