I loved it, as I am sure you will.”Jane Roland - The Cedar Street Times“... engaging... once I started reading I just couldn’t put it down.”M.A. - Marana, Arizona“ Filled with many “coincidences” that intriguingly hint of higher implications. It’s a delightful experience.”A.T - Marina, California“...hard to put down but, once I did, my teenage daughter stole it away and read the entire thing in a night!”G.E.P - Tuscon, Arizona“... radiates such warmth. A very pleasant read in this very stressful world.”D.E. - Medford, Oregon“... a joy to read.

Clarissa Bell has transformed the spring fed lake into a font of storytelling.”B.W. - Pacific Grove, California“As you devour the pages be careful not to imprint the page with crumbs of imagined petit fours. On second thought, leave each crumb as a clue through the labyrinthine forest of spiritual connection.”M.S. - Santa Barbara, Californiaiii“The narrative itself is like a large, warm quilt. There are so many squares repeating and connecting, and even with the loose threads and mysterious stains, it makes a beautiful picture.My only complaint would be that I didn’t have a cat to sit next to me while I read it.”E.T. - Salinas, California.“... heightened drama that whets one’s appetite to read more.”A.S. - Santa Monica, California
