As a friend of the publisher, I received an advance copy of this
book before its release in October. The first page got my attention
because it begins with a suicide scene. At first, I thought the
book might glorify suicide but I soon learned that the novel has a
deep spiritual message of compassion, healing and the importance of
relationships.
As a fan of similar books by James Redfield, Dan Millman and Robin
Sharma, I also loved this story. Though it is different in style
and voice. It weaves the voices of two authors into a cohesive and
compelling narrative. You rarely see that in fiction.
By the end of the book, I could see what the journey was all about
for the main character and everyone else. The book begins
dramatically and takes a few chapters to get going but it develops
into a wonderful story with many spiritual insights. I felt
emotionally satisfied by the end of it and that's always good when
a book can do that.
