Dare to reach inside yourself and feel the connection between the gritty reality of Billie and the vibrations of Quan Yin - the Goddess that will save your soul! A moving, gut wrenching yet spiritual journey through a lifetime of New York ambience this story follows Billie's lifetime path as she encounters the truth of her feelings. An apprenticeship with a goddess and an opportunity for forgivess bring this book toward a bold ending, leaving a much wanted follow-up book to Billie's move across the continent with a renewed lease on life.

This book captured my attention and engaged me from the first page. Carol Simone's style, vocabulary, sense of humor and wit, coupled with excellent character development prevented me from putting this book down. Even though not a difficult read, the underlying message was craftily woven into the fabric of her characters. I found myself caught up in the lives of Billie and her family and emotionally fighting Billie's battles with her to the end. This story represents the struggles many women face and their courage and determination to prevail. In addition, it artfully teaches deeper lessons on spiritual awakenings, similar to The Celestine Prophesy. I enjoyed it thoroughly and would recommend it to anyone!

i never, never do these review kind of things, but i just had to write and say how much i loved this book. if you're like me, you are always looking for the next great read...something that holds you as much as say... white oleander.. well, this is the book. it's a wonderful beach book, plane book, bedside table book... or the book you keep in your car( as i did) to read when someone is late... and you're sitting there... when i was reading this book- i loved it when my friends were late! it should be on the oprah best book list ... read it and see you don't thnk so too!

Transformational! Simone writes from her heart - and gifts all of us with the opportunity to look within for our own connection to the Goddess. Beautiful prose that flows like poetry weaves a story of mystery, courage, love and magic. All of this and humor too! I love this book for how it embraces the femine and inspires us all to believe more deeply in ourselves and our dreams. Read this book and prepare yourself for induction into the Mystery! Thank you Simone for writing this book - looking forward to the next one

A compelling story of two women whose lives intertwine through the years at crucial points. One has hidden her fears and shame so well she achieves an outwardly successful life. The other is very public in her descent into hell. There is a point that both women find the peace and salvation they longed for their whole lives. It is the Quan Yin energy force that releases them both. The journey to their goal is what it is all about. Well worth the read. Carol Simone keeps you turning the page longing for their release through spiritual awakening.

I also have never submitted a book review, but this one is so deserving of high praise. This will be one I share and share with friends and family for years to come. I was overcome and overwhelmed with emotion the entire read. Carol's writing style is absolutely wonderful and her 'characters' are awe-INSPIRING. Please write more! Carol, thank you!
